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.
Mark.
