There seem to be two choices - the freeware Virtual Access Internet 
package (vanet32.exe) and the Virtual Access Professional/Workgroup 
package (va32.exe), with the latter having a 30day usage limit. 
Presumably it is the latter I require? I can assume this quite safely, 
because it is the former which I have :-)

(My vanet32.exe contains a readme dated April '96 which doesn't sound 
very recent, but i downloaded it less than a month ago. I can't see any 
other reference to version numbers in that file. I'll get hold of 
va32.exe and give that a whirl.)

I kenw there was a connection but my memory is too poor to remember 
what. I couldn't remember whether you had any connection with the 
package under discussion or just with the company which produces it.
