I'm curious if anyone has noticed this occur.  I've had Diablo for about 2
1/2 weeks now and enjoyed the hell out of it.  I went ahead and patched it
to ver 1.02 almost immediately.  I've noticed an odd problem though.  When
I play on the net for a while then leave, for say a lunch?  Something odd
happens.  When I try to log in to my ISP again, I can't.  I get dumped
right away.  If I do a system restart, I get in right away and can merrily
resume hacking. 
	
	Is this familiar to anyone?  It seems to me that Diablo is fouling up a
.DLL file or something in Win95 somewhere, and the restart clears it.  I've
included my system specs if it helps.  Thanx for you time...

Diablo ver 1.02
P100 w/ 24meg RAM
1meg VRAM installed.
Directx fully certified.
28.8 modem.

Assuming you're running Windows 95 you might try upgrading your
KERNEL32.DLL file.  Microsoft has a free upgrade that is supposed to
fix a bug that will keep a program from functioning properly when its
been running a PPP connect for a signifigant amount of time.

Its available on the net at:

Good luck, and please let us know if this fixes the prob.
