Floppy Drives

I would have continued the post but I keep getting failures in the
connecting to this newsgroup. I am not having problems anywhere else.

Glen,

I don't have any dial-up these days, not even a modem in my 98

I recall that one of the default setting in a DUN connectoid is to

No modem installed on this machine either although I do have a 3.5 inch
drive for backwards compatibility. Also, it is nice to use a floppy
that if you end up losing it the floppy then at least the information on
the floppy should be backed up on your machine and the lost cost of the
floppy is next to nothing. Hopefully, the data that you lose is not
worth much as well, however. The only other big limitation is that
floppies hold such a small amount of data -- only 1.44 mb's of information
