So what? Net-Tamer is not a Wattcp application. It uses it's own
internal PPP driver. None of this prevents me from using my own
method of loading the packet driver and one basic wattcp.cfg with
all my Wattcp applications (except MS-Kermit), from ping.exe to
Arachne, uka_ppp, and Lynx386 (32-bit).

Actually what he said was, "You also need a fair amount of patience,
since setting up DOS for the Internet is like herding cats."
