Both of them do not support dial on demand and redial on carrier loss.
So KLOS PPP is better.
Actually what we do need is completely _new_ ppp driver, written in

support dial on demand and redial on carrier loss.

PC-Pine developers seem to be complete idiots :(. They made a useless zoo of

WORK WITH EXTERNAL SENDMAIL. No-no. Unix version only :-E~~

NCSA one is good enough,i think Kermit should work too. Other NCSA programs
(whois,finger,ftp) are a bit unstable. Waterloo ftp is not better.

voice is the best DOS irc client i've seen for now.
