Here's another one. The first time I unzipped WinQVT/NET 1.5
and set up the .rc file, it worked perfectly. The next time I 
tried it, it gave the error message:

Stop! Network initialization error!

I've tried it many times since then, trying out different packet
vectors (60, 65, 70) and different versions of the packet driver,
all to no avail. I get the same error message. Yet, I can get Tel-
net to work without any problem. I've also tried unzipping a fresh
copy and starting from scratch.

The machine is an IBM Model 55SX with  a WD8003e board in it. This
is the first time I've had Winqvt/Net on the machine.

This is what I do:

Boot machine

C:\> wd8003e 0x60 0x3  (or sometimes 96 3)
C:\> pktint

(both files are in root)

C:\> win

Anything wrong so far?

Then click on the icon and the error message appears. I DO
have the pc_ip= and packet vector= lines filled in. 

Perhaps I ought to try the older version and see if that 
works. Meantime I'll stick to Telnet.

btw.. is there a way to get the News reader in qvt/net to 
display headers?
