We have started using Microsoft's Internet Explorer and dialer for Win3.x. Look on their Web site http://www.microsoft.com Get a copy and try it out. Seems to work well for us. > Also, I have a lot of users logging in with Dial-up networking, and > to change it so they don't have to do that?

Windows uses PAP to verify user name and password. On our terminal server (Xylogics Annex RA4000) we set the dial in lines to autodetect. It will look for a PPP connection and if it can't find one it will switch to text mode. I am sure you could do the same for whatever equipment you are using. > > John > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- > John Hart, System Administrator Technet Internet Services > dashadow@tchnet.com (517)796-8200 > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- > Allen Hyer, System Administrator West Texas Rural Telephone
