- How on earth can a web browser be stand-alone? You NEED a TCP/IP stack to
- connect to the web. And you don't need your communications program to dial in -
- use a simple dialer and put it in a script that also runs StartNet.

- is part of the Internet, and you need to use IPv4 to connect to the 'net,
- it's not exactly a valid reason....
