This is still insane. Visit www.tucows.com and download the programs that
Windows should have come with in the first place, instead of the
brain-dead schlock you get with a stock install.
Or, if you want, I can send you a copy of ProcommPlus for DOS that works
under Windows. Its my old trusty friend. Easy to use, easy to configure,
solid.
