I haven't seen this problem, but I had a similar kind of problem with a
trial version of the WRQ stack.  In my case, I was using it as a dialer on
my ISDN line and it was VERY slow (30 seconds to make a connection).  After
a lot of complaining to WRQ I got an updated version that took all of 20
seconds to connect.  I finally bought Trumpet Winsock, which connects in
about 3 or 4 seconds and only costs $25.00!  The ISDN connection itself
only takes about a second, the rest of the time is waking up the program,
reading profiles, negotiating security, etc.  The WRQ stack just didn't
come close.
