- Does the eval version also let you use the dialer? I must have overlooked it
- but really I found Amiconnect to work very easily and I am planning on
- integrating it with the same author's Control Panel program. By the way, I am
- planning on registering my PPP. I try to support the folks who supported the
- Amiga through seemingly dark times.
