List of protocols deleted.

I would remove all but required protocols and bindings. You need TCP/IP bound to
your dial-up adapter for Dial-Up Networking, but binding anything else to the
Dial-Up adaptor is usually not interesting. I suggest NETBEUI bound to your PCI
card for Windows NT or peer-to-peer networking. You don't need IPX/SPX unless
you need to operate in a Novell network. The list I suggest is..

Client for Microsoft Networks
Dial-Up Adapter
PCI Ethernet DECchip 21041 Based Adapter
NetBEUI - PCI - Ethernet DECchip....
TCP/IP Dial-Up Adapter
File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks
