IP Insight is a Quality of Service and /or diagnostic package - but it's not used by VOL at this time - there's no back-end companion for tech support or NOC to use to access it... It does send "phone home" data used to check latency and network traffic occasionally, but like any other features that it contains are unused or not implemented.

Wind River who created the software did not mark it as 3.0. It's Verizon DSL 3.0 software, the WinPoet just has a minor SHPLWAPI.DLL file update. Which still produces an error if you have an updated version of Windows ME. Best, option is to rename the SHPLWAPI.DLL in the C:\Programs Files\VerizonDSL\WinPoet folder to SHPLWAPI.OLD then it'll just use the version of SHPLWAPI.DLL in the windows\system folder. You won't have to worry about receive an error again since the system folder always will have the updated version The 2704 build and the "Verizon 3.0 James Earl Jones" build have identical packet drivers. The only differences: - No more Netscape [You can install older builds w/o needing Netscape, so this is not a major difference] - Verizon branding instead Bell Atlantic. Apparent in images and icons. - James Earl Jones gets to say `Thank You for Using Verizon`. - The significant difference between older 2.0 2000201 and 3.0/2.0 20002704 - Windows ME compatibility. - Speed: NO difference.
