Apparently it is not so straight forward to set your system up for CSLIP
connections.  I'm connected via PPP through Windows 95 and I have had
no problems at all running any sort of Internet software... in fact it is
great being able to run the NT versions of most packages (they multitask a
hell of a lot better than their 16-bit counterparts).  I currently run FTP32
(NT Version), WinVN NT, Eudora, Win95 Telnet... all of which run perfectly.

As for games... I don't normally play games while in the GUI environment
though I've had little trouble those times that I have.  All of my games have
run from a DOS v7.0 DOS prompt, and I'd say that just about all the games I've
run under the GUI environment continue to run (though I must admit that I 
haven't tested it extensively -- why burden your games by running them under a
GUI?).  I find that loading games takes a lot longer while under the GUI
environment, though there is little or no change in the playing speed of
the game (running on a DX2/66 and a DX4/100).  I used to multitask X-Wing CD
and Procomm v2.11 all the time... no loss in CPS rates at 14.4k and the game
played like it did in DOS.  It was fantastic... 

I did have troubles when doing 28.8k (or higher) transfers.  Too many 
interrupts causes overrun errors and choppy game play.
