from the website:
Dunce-Dial-Up Networking Connection Enhancement
Dunce (or Dial-Up Networking Connection Enhancement) allows for
much easier dial-up networking than Win95 currently provides.
The program will automatically press "connect" for you on the
"Connect To" dialog box, redial your Internet Provider indefinitely
(even from within another application), and auto-reconnect if you get
unexpectedly dropped. Furthermore it can optionally run applications
when you are connected and force connections at a given time. 2.0
Also adds MSN Support and support for international versions of Windows.
Dunce will also type in your password in the Connect To Dialog.

They also have a reciprocal linking deal. You link to them
and they'll link to your page. I told them about our conferences
today and sent them our url.

Thanks Ben. I'd like to get some more diverse viewpoints here on your product. Could you tell us about how you got started and how this product was developed and your future plans for Dunce?

Terry,
Dunce was written when I was seriously disappointed with the way that Microsoft
designed Windows95's built in Dial-Up Networking. I looked at the available
solutions and none of them fit the bill. Many people went the route of replacing the dialer. I choose to follow a different route. That is of enhacing the dialer and making my product transparent.
Currently plans for Dunce include some upgrades to support changes made by Microsoft for Windows 98 and Internet Explorer 4.0. We also are planning on increasing the efficency of Dunce even more than it is today.
