I like to make connection to Demon using Windows 95 Dial Up Networking so that I can use any browser or other program requiring a connection. Setting up DUN is a little bit laborious so I have been looking for a simpler way. Microsoft have available on their web site http://www.microsoft.com an upgrade provided for the purpose of adding ISDN connection facility to DUN. This file - msisdn11.exe -greatly improves DUN, even if you do not have ISDN. It allows quicker connection, faster speeds by my reckoning, gives more information about the connection progress, and no dial up script or terminal window is required to connect to Demon. If you are already using a script just right mouse click on the Demon icon in DUN (in My computer), select Properties, then Scripting and delete the name of the script file leaving the space blank. Also using the isdn file you get a cute pair of winking computers in the corner of the screen instead of the blinking modem. It is only necessary to put the file in any temporary directory on your hard drive and double click it and it installs itself. As well as downloading from Microsoft, the file msisdn11.exe is also available from ftp://ftp.trentu.ca/Windows95/UPDATES/msisdn11.exe I would be interested in any feedback on this. It does not seem to be well known. Happy connecting, Warren Ward, http://www.designpages.com warren@artpages.demon.co.uk
