1 - Since applying the DUN patch, my call-up sequence now waits for
anything up to 1 minute "Logging onto network".  If it's necessary, fine;
if it isn't, woss happ'ning??

2 - My newsreader is Agent (v1.5/32.451) and I often become dis-connected
from my ISP during long downloads.  Is this a failing in Agent (I'd rather
not change!) or a hiccough in DUN processes?

3 - Is there an independent winsock that's thought to better than
Microsoft's built-in DUN thing-y?  If so, where can I get it and how do I
apply it?

4 - Does any of that make sense??!!

Yooors,

Iain.
