I used to have Minuet, and i thought it was a cool program for a
while. Unfortunately it had WAY to many bugs and locked my system up
just as often as Windows or Netscape, so I deleted it. Setting up
internet stuff in DOS 2 years ago was "A PAIN IN THE *SS!". Hopefully
OpenDOS will fix that soon.
BTW, I think Minuet is no longer a FREE program too. The last one I
downloaded had some text blurb to that effect anyway.
