[WinMac] Using two ISP's on a laptop.

We use a Whistle Interjet to provide centralized internet access and
mail to a mixed Mac & Win 95/98 environment on an ethernet network. The
Interjet becomes a POP3 mail server for the network. It is connected via
an ISDN to an ISP who can handle this server. Our people who utilize
laptops would like to have a 2nd ISP (MSN) loaded onto their computers
so that they can access the internet when they are traveling. We would
then set their mail to forward from the Interjet to to the other mail
address at the 2nd ISP. These folks use Outlook and Explorer.

The problem is that Explorer wants to connect to MSN every time. The
only way we can make the connection to the Interjet is to also use
Navigator and set it up using the Interjet.

We are looking for help on how to get Explorer to look at two different
connection methods as well as a method of using Outlook with both
accounts.

Microsoft talks us through some of this but in the process other things
get messed up. Even with their intercession, the process still requires
having two different browsers.

One solution that has been mentioned by others is running NT on the
laptops in place of Win95/98. Is this a solution??

Any help will be appreciated.
