You could always kludge the window by adding some component that won't
size below 150 pixels wide. A tad pointless, as it's (a) easy to
adjust the window to /just/ the point where it won't flicker (which
would no doubt be font sensitive anyway) and then snapshot, and (b)
sometimes it's nice to have the window small and very narrow just to
see online timers etc. On that note: I've abandoned the modem
completely, and now use a 10Mb LAN via a ICMP gateway on a WinNT box
which has a v.90 modem (the joys of Surf Unlimited). Genesis still
insists on telling me how long I've been 'online' (somewhat misnamed).
It would be useful if future versions of Genesis had a "cost me?"
switch for each Interface, so that I can keep free access apart from
pay access. Probably a bit academic and cosmetic considering the
state of the market.

DHCP isn't that essential a component. Only used on LANs? <checks>
Yup! I've got a DHCP server :-) Would it be more prudent to get
the programmer(s) to work on "wish list" problems and advances? Small
bug fixes and adding what people want? Perhaps not.
