It is needed for, more or less, all programs that use the modem port. This
includes all comms packages (apart from Connect I think), STiNG and STiK.
All you need to do is ensure that DRVNG.PRG and MFP.PRG come before
STING.PRG in the auto-folder.

BTW, which version of the overlay are you using? I had a variety of problems
using v1.25 and swapping to v1.2618 cured them.

Ian, since you're the one having the problems, if you want I can email my
working copy of CAB and CAB.OVL v1.2706, which is much faster than v1.2706.
