I think that is the result of having a company that's so big one department
has absolutely no idea what another is doing. The MSIE dialer has an option
to redial a number of times that you can set. Outlook and Outlook Express
use a different dialer for some reason. The screens are different. I
assume it's a different dialing routine. It's been this way since the first
release of IE4.
