Net Dial allows unlimited re-dialing as well as making the login script much easier to configure than Trumpet. Net Dial will even parse your IP address into Trumpet for seamless integration. There is also comprehensive documentation included for Net Dial -- both on-line help capabilities and an included WinWord instruction manual document. Other features include automatic logins, multiple configurations, timer client, and support for dynamic IP addresses. The timer client records your time spent on-line for each individual session, as well as for your overall time spent connected to the 'net. There are several alternative dialer programs available, but none of these can match the ease of use, number of features, and versatility of Net Dial. Pros: Automatic dialing with unlimited re-dial, easy to use, integrated timer client Cons: Must use Trumpet Winsock as well in order to connect to the internet New: Support for 115,200 baud, encrypted password protection, enhanced timer routines, more Version Reviewed: 2.75 Date of Review: 3/4/96 Reviewer: Forrest
