Service Pack 2 for NT isn't necessarily a good idea if you're connecting to
ISP's using RAS (there are several settings distastefully changed).

I use a USR Courier-I modem here for connection to Demon and I've had no trouble
using it with RAS at all.  I wish I could say the same for Telix though - do you
know if there are specific Telix drivers available for it because the USR
V.Everything Generic drivers don't work :(
