It was an upgrade.  I also tried the DLLs that came with whfc, but gamespy
crashed in msvcrt so i went back to what win98 put in.  Not that putting
the older dlls helped.

My laptop also went through the win95->98 upgrade and has no problems
connecting.

The gateway has 3 nic cards in it.  My desktop and my laptop are comming
from two different segments.  But I can't see why that would be a
problem...

And while I'm at it.  I can't seem to get the actual files from hylafax
via ftp.  I login anonymous or with my username, no password is asked for:

ftp> get fax00007.tif
local: fax00007.tif remote: fax00007.tif
227 Entering passive mode (192,168,1,1,40,100)
550 fax00007.tif: Operation not permitted.
ftp>

Thoughts?
