I'm having a few problems with WinQVTnet and a SLIP connection and wondering
if anyone can lend a hand. They are as follows (version 3.03 unless stated!).


1) Error messages in console log- I constantly get a message saying "IP: bad
version number" even with successful ftp and telnet sessions. What does this
mean? How do I go about correcting it (if even necessary) ?

2) Packet fragmentation occurrs whenever I try to connect to my news server.
This makes this function unusable as it hangs the window. How can I correct
this? Is there a setting in qvtnet.ini that will help or a configurational
thing that can be done at the annex terminal server?

3) WinQVTnet 3.1 crashes with a GPF (sometimes, other times not even that
gracefully). I do have the DOS environment size set to 2048 bytes without
any success running WinQVTnet3.1. Any further tricks I should try?

4) WinQVTnet causes windows to disappear whenever the packet driver (and
WinQVTnet of course) is set to 0x062. Things work as expected at 0x060. Why?

Any assistance would be most appreciated! I'll welcome responses either by
post or email and summarize to the net if warranted. Thanks!
