Anyone know how well Freedom 1.1 operates under Virtual PC 3.0 running Windows 98 SE with underlying Mac PPP and TCP/IP services?
I haven't tried it with VPC on my Mac, but I tried several times (with two different releases) to get it to work with Vmware on a linux box. It was never able to get connected for it's initial config. I could go anywhere else on the net, but once I tried to use Freedom, it not only wouldn't connect to them, but then trashed all my tcp/ip networking until I removed it. Which was surprising, actually -- I think it's the first thing I've found that I couldn't get to work with Vmware. And VPC has been the same, everything I've tried running on it works great, but I didn't bother trying Freedom since I don't need w95 on my Mac, just DOS and w3.1 for some old stuff. OTOH, it might work with VPC -- seems like Vmware has a weirder network setup than VPC, and maybe using a modem might make a big difference too, since VPC can access the modem directly and not get it's tcp/ip connection thru the host OS -- which, if I recall, the Freedom server saw as a proxy and so it puked.
