I don't know why the Quarterdeck mpkernel.exe seems to have disappeared. It was the most user-friendly tool I had seen in the way of a WINSOCK. The Location Manager is even today smarter than most. The Microsoft Dialer won't let me correctly select a 10-digit local call. The Quarterdeck dialer does, via the override feature. As for reliability, I have had Trumpet crash on me 5 times in a week while I have NEVER had mpkernel drop out. Does anyone know how to get it Netscape 3.0 to work with it ? Or is it doomed to failure ? Eric M. internet conference Main Menu
