I'm going miss Walter's contributions because he has always been so
thorough in evaluating new versions of Net-Tamer. It would be a shame
for Net-Tamer to languish for lack of interest. A standalone PPP dialer
from Uncle Dave would be a valuable resource for DOS users of Lynx or
even Arachne. The fact is that the current DOSPPP and variants of it
can't hunt for a DNS if the user doesn't know it. This means that if
your ISP changes its DNS numbers without notifying you, as has happened
to me in the past, DOSPPP will fail to connect the browser to any URL.
Nettamer, on the other hand, apparently because of the way Uncle Dave
has written his PPP code, can search for a DNS and use whatever is
available via the local dialup. A standalone PPP dialer for DOS with
the same capability would be a vast improvement over DOSPPP for that
reason alone.
