•
The VPN client for Windows 95/98 does not open when used in conjunction with AOL Versions 5.0 and 6.0. When the VPN client is opened, it creates a MaxMTU from the registry, and resets the values. This registry change requires a reboot, at which time AOL removes the MaxMTU from the registry, causing the cycle to repeat.
