Hello:
All Jeff's points below are what we do as well. The last resort that
always works even if the others don't is to check the "Bring up terminal
window after dialing" and have them press Continue. I've never seen this
NOT work. It's been discussed before here before that this is a timing
bug on Win95's part an the Terminal Window code must not use that
specific timer.
