we have found this true for win95 connections as well. it is especially
obvious with ISDN connections, since an ISDN connection is pretty
much instantaneous when you click on your desktop icon....but watching
that "verifying username" message box would have you believe that it
takes as long as 10 seconds. however, if you fire off a ping or
a telnet or something, you will see that your connection is up long
before that message box inconifies into the system tray.
