Well, I tried at various times over 2 months to get NT4 working with
Demon. Could dial up OK, but both Turnpike & IE Explorer could not
connect - Turnpike said it couldn't make a socket. Yesterday in
desperation I wiped all the NT4 system files (I have Windows 95 on the
machine, too); then I reloaded NT4 from scratch, setting up the network
and dialup stuff en route. Guess what? Turnpike & IE Explorer worked
first time! Only 1 caveat: I have to make the connection before starting
Turnpike. Note: I loaded Turnpike into NT4, and modified its .ini files
to use the databases in the Windows 95 partition.

Before reloading NT4, I had Service Pack 2 installed ....
