Maybe it's known but search reveals nothing.
In Emplode 2.03b the connection states don't stay, seems like Network Broadcast mysteriously selects itself and Serial port unselected. I.E the connection preferences change w/o my help. I should say as long as Emplode doesn't open or close with a 'sync error' or 'wrong cookie session' the connection choices stay as I want.
Another strange thing that just happened upon closing Emplode while online it seems to always bring up the close internet connection popup dialog box, running Win 98.
