Don't know about the 4.0 demo... I have dl'd it, but I can't use it
yet (explaination in a bit). The Chameleon 3.11N that ships with the
Windows Internet Tour Guide Book that you mentioned looks really neat.
Unfortunately, it does not support any form of authentication. My
school is pretty tight about security, so they are not going to allow
PPP connections without authentication and they are specifically
pushing PAP. The new chameleon 4.0X supports CHAP, so I'm hoping I
can use that. Anyway, the point of this is that you had better check
with your provider and make sure that they aren't requiring
authentication if you plan on using Chameleon.
Chris
PS... anyone have any stats on how common authentication usage is?

Subject: Winsock Troubles
If anyone has any suggestions on the following, I would greatly
appreciate it:
I am attempting to establish contact through a SLIP connection.
My winsock does not seem to be working properly. For example, when using
ws_ping ten packets are sent out and zero are received amounting to a
100% packet loss. Also, nothing else seems to work (like Cello, Mosaic
or Wgopher...). Any comment might help ease my frustration. Thanks!
