    Until recently, my OS/2 internet connections have been very stable.
However, for the past few weeks, almost every time I go on the net I
eventually get a TRAP 000e.  This seems to happen especially in IRC, even
though I've never had problems with IRC before.
    I'm wondering if it's possible that perhaps somebody has found a nuke for
OS/2, that may do the same thing nuke for Win95 does?  I hope not, 'cuz as of
yet I have not been able to fix this problem.
