You're agreeing with me by disagreeing.  I'm saying if the networking stuff
is not installed during Windows 95 installation, it will give you a blank
look when you try to use a network connection.  One of the components is
called dial-up networking (not my idea on a good name). All the components
of it need to be installed first, wakarimasu ka?  I don't use Trumpet either
just W95's winsock. When a certain ISP told me I couldn't use that winsock
and stack I told them where they could stick their stack; too much hassle :p

If those components aren't installed, Network doesn't show up as an option :p.
