Yes -- I am bewildered why this started happening recently since we
changed nothing on our maxen. The answer is to make sure the Win95
'enable software commpresion' is unchecked -- it is checked by default. If
you are talking about the same problem, it shows 'verifying user name and
password' for something on the order of 50 seconds, but the max shows lan
session up and the user can browse, pop mail, etc.. most don't even try --
they just annoyed.
I haven't looked too much into this but I am assuming the compression
Win95 is talking about is some kind of stac comression that the modems do
between each other anyway...
