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. location: http://www.vecdev.com/cgi-bin/vdget.cgi?file=dunce website: http://www.vecdev.com/

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.
