- For some reason those patches work only in very limited number of cases. They
- "almost" work for me (i.e. it doesn't crash or hang but it doesn't dial. This
- is NOT a comm port problem).
-
- However I have heard on AOL OS/2 forum that the new beta of AOL for Windows
- runs OK under the october OS/2 32bit GRE + Win 3.1 beta (which expired 5 days
- ago, BTW :-( They say that the AOL for Windows requires Win 3.1.
