Hi Ed:

WIN95a
I'm using IE4 (browser only) so I guess it installed DUNv1.2, can't find an about box or something with the version though.

IE4 installed WinSock 2.0, that I remember for sure.
The only thing I remember doing before the problem was installing
the IE4 PowerToys -> curiosity killed the cat?

I'll check the patches to see if I'm missing something.

Thanks.
