programs that are expecting MS winsock? that was the case a few years ago as well. In Siemens last year the IT department sent out memos that if AOL was loaded it was RRR because of the way it mucked up the settings particular to Siemens. AOL is neither bad nor good it is just big and aimed at the home users who prolly use the machine for writing letters, balancing the checkbook and email. I havnt used it because when it first came out you had a charge of 1.50 a minute for the phonecall from Alaska while Compuserve had a local number. I did make a lot of money fixing AOL installs :)
thanx,
