Subject: NEED A GOOD PPP PACKET DRIVER

SUBJECT  I am currently using EtherPPP with Minuet.  Due to the fact 
that EtherPPP requires some 126000 bytes of resident memory, this 
causes Minuet to crash regularly.  I cannot use the graphics option of 
the browser, only text, as using graphics will draw about one half of 
the first graphics page before it crashes the system.  Does anyone 
know of a good PPP packet driver that works with DOS?  No Windows, 
and no Novell network.  For pay OK.  I have written a dialer so the 
procedure could be just a packet driver with no dialing options.

PINE  Pine will not even load on my graphics monitor system with 
EtherPPP loaded.  I have to use a monochrome system where I can use 
the "A" bank for system memory, then Pine will run.

EtherPPP would also crash it here too and I'm not using graphics.
Quakeppp from Klos always worked for me with Minuet and other clients.
It's available from Klos's web site at (I think) www.klos.com.
I haven't used quakeppp in awhile since finding cslipper due to lower
memory usage.
Warning: there's no docs with Quakeppp except one small text file.
Klos said you get docs if you register the software.
