Maybe I missed it, but I haven't noticed this at all. The DOS version
is inherently difficult to configure, but most of this has been
partially automated by Alfredo Cole's program to setup DOSPPP and the
batch file I include with the binary. I haven't looked at them lately,
but I believe that there are at least two other efforts to make things
easy for users, John Lewis's Bobcat386 package (available from the
fdisk site) and the lynx_kit distribution (from rene.simplenet.com). I
haven't noted reports of network problems from Win32 users.
