Tom's right,  WFWG IS better... Win 3.1 was never written for any good
modem support. WinFax used to let people use their comm driver
for better support in Win3.1  Maybe Tom was lucky or had a better modem
:-)
My memory is failing on the rest,  but there were all kinds of settings
you could add or change in the system files. They were stuff anyone
could add (similar to the Win95 MTU stuff).
Anybody remember that stuff? (Or should I pull out the old tapes
and go hunting?)
(Hope I "snipped" everybody correctly)
