Hi,

Has anyone else had a problem with Windows 95 deciding to hang up half
way through a session ?

I am using W95 ( with Plus! ) and IE 3.0 ( 4.70.1155 )

I've found that this can happen no matter what software I've been using
( out of IE Mail, News and the browser ), I often find that the phone
has been hung up even though my system still thinks it is connected.
This means that large files are impossible to transfer between my machine
and camnet, as it often disconnects after only 30K or so has been
transferred. I downloaded webit from Camnet and found that I could keep
it working by manually pinging camnet every minute or so. Does W95
not send keep alive messages or something ?

Any known solutions ?

Thanks, David.
