mr.mark, have you given much thought to upgrading to win98? or install a new Hdd and do a clean install win98? The fellows over on Dream Machine, Build Your Own help me put together a new rig in last couple months. I installed win98 and for me I've never seen anything as easy to use. I think I got 2 BSD while getting all I/O cards installed, but none since.
Tonight I exchanged Mother Boards due to a bad printer port in last one. Fired it up it went thru all the I/O cards, installed drivers, ask if I wanted to set BIOS. I did. Set configurations as per old board, restarted, and it did it's thing and now i'm in business. Good printer port and all. Probably 1½ hrs.
I double click on Communicator on desktop, Modem makes connections, using saved password all automatically. No comparison with win95. Telling you what it does for me. Others may differ.
Recognized my 2nd monitor immediately.
Keep pushing, wish I could be of more help.
