Perhaps I should have said historically.  I had gotten Arachne
working nicely from DESQview/X a few months ago until I lost the
directory and backups.  I'd not yet put it back, because I recall
needing something other than DOSPPD.  I was LSPPD and it was
using CHAP.  Tks Joe.

I CHAP login with PC/TCP's Windows dialer and VXD stack because
it's the default and is reliable.

I use terminal prompt login with Trumpet's DLL stack in Windows
3.1 Standard mode, because it's faster with the script right.

I also use terminal prompt login with PC/TCP's TSR stack for a
smaller 1st Meg memory footprint:

 Region     Area      Size      Status
   1    B7AD - B7B2   0.1K    Used (PPP16550)
   1    B7B3 - B7C3   0.2K    Used (PPPDRV)
   2    E760 - E9D0   9.7K    Used (PPP16550)  Terminal Prompt
                       10K    Used (PPP16550)  if PAP
                       19K    Used (PPP16550)  if PAP & CHAP
   2    E9D1 - EA7C   2.6K    Used (PPPDRV)
   2    EA7D - F148    27K    Used (PPPDRV)

Also because of the smaller 1st Meg footprint, I likewise use the
IPX transport layer only for my LAN.  DV/X completes the network
with TCP/IP(X?), so I have no network outside DV/X.

   2    E32C - E464   4.8K    Used (LSL)
   2    E465 - E581   4.4K    Used (E200P)
   2    E582 - E75F   7.4K    Used (IPXODI)

PC/TCP shows the above stack being completed by:

   c:\pctcp\ODIPKT.com
   c:\nwclient\VLM.exe
   c:\pctcp\ETHDRV.exe

to add TCP/IP capabilities, with ODIPKT being the shim at the
threshold of my undestanding.
