You may recall I had some speed bumps with EZNET? Is BL2 using a more 'standard' *nix setup for dialup PPP or is EZNET a part of BL2 as well? >The only major job remaining is mail.

Access for many DOS users to POP and SMTP was lost when ISPs decided you must SMTP prior to POP. Will your combined application paint BL2 users into a similar corner if/when there are any further 'enhancements' made by ISPs to POP/SMTP?
