you really think this is an emplode-problem?

No and Yes

No, because really, W98 is at fault. When you try to cancel a Dial-Up sessions that appears to hang, W98 can't get rid of it, but *does* open a new one. After 8 or 9 attempts Windows freezes. Thus it is not caused by emplode

However, when network illiterates like myself mess around with these things, they'll blame emplode. Even more so when they loose contact with Mark altogether.

It's similar to whar, I believe it was Schofiel, reported it must be a year ago. Rather than attempting to play what was left of the WAV structure on a CD, the manufacturer of the CD-player decided to reject the CD altogether. This would lead his customers to return the CD, while badly playing CDs would be a reason to complain with the player manufacturer.
