Yes, I found it here on my system, I run WARP 3 too ya know, just never used
the DIALER, I used DOIP, which is SLIP_PM or something like that.

I was thinking, when I first connected, I had my brother hook me up to AT&T on 
his machine, which had WIN95 installed.  We copied the paramaters, then, I
went home and inserted them into DOIP.  I had to fuss a little, but got it to
work.  When I switched to Bell, I got their software, installed WIN95, and
connected, got the paramaters, stuck em into DOIP.  Point being, you don't
need to install WIN95, just know someone that has WIN95.
