My experience is: Do NOT use the WRQ stack on Win95.  The Microsoft
stack works just great, and has a few features the WRQ stack doesn't
have (more than 2 DNS servers is the first one that comes to mind).
Some other applications (the one I encountered was America Off-Line)
don't work at all with WRQ's stack.

I lost a day cleaning up the mess that installing the WRQ stack made
of my system (partially because there is NO Tech Support after 5pm,
when I do a lot of my work).  But I'm not bitter.

The product you want (this week, anyway) is "Reflection for HP with
NS/VT".  If you have an older "Reflection 1" and either the
"Reflection Network Series" or "NS Open", you've got everything you
need.

Or, save yourself a bundle and buy Minisoft's MS92 (comes with the VT
protocol, and the newest version has a lot more advanced script
support than the older ones).
