 DESCRIPTION-

        Redial for IBM DOIP:  Need I say more?  I sometimes wonder if
        the designers of OS/2 have forgotten what it's like to use
        OS/2 at home as a "regular" user, with a regular phone line,
        and a regular ISP.  We get busy signals (So, why isn't there
        a busy redail feature in IBM's Dial Other Internet Provider?)
        Also, there seem to be some bugs in the DOIP.  This was just
        highlighted recently by a fiasco with AT&T's Worldnet
        service, who apparantly changed some protocol in their dial
        up service.  It cause the Warp 4 DOIP to fail.  Interestingly,
        a 3rd party alternative, which goes by the name "InJoy"
        worked  just fine (according to the Newsgroups).  I'd like to
        think IBM can do as well.
