I have never "consiously" installed DUN, I just did a pretty standard
install if I remember correctly.  Again, I will check this evening.

B.T.W.  You mention "broadcast traffic":

When I do "XWin.exe -query <linux box> -from <Win95-box>" it fails
with "no valid address".

When I do "XWin.exe -broadcast -from <Win95-box>" it gives me an
X-Window, but I don't get a login dialog from the Linux Box.

I don't know if this is important.

Thanks for the thought, who knows?...
