Slightly OT: Corel Students' Policy

I am very fond of Corel-Draw. The first version I used was Corel-Draw 2.0, after which I switched to Corel-Draw 4.0, which I received free with a printer my family bought. Corel-Draw 4.0 is very good and almost entirely bug-free, but it still a Win3.11 program, and gives me some hard time. I

mtu problems?

A question to the MTU gurus (Muli/Dani?): I'm pretty sure I have an MTU problem. However, I can't figure out: A. How to 'debug' it (i.e. I don't know if the problem is really MTU) B. What the problem is (if it exists). I think that (A) is especially important, since I'm getting the feeling I'm
