Just a real cute one you should be aware of...

If you ever turned on the "create a log file" option when you set up DUN and, like me, you forgot to turn it back off, your modemlog.txt file in your W95 directory will just keep on growing. Unfortunately, when it grows above about 256K <g>, DUN spits the dummy and you can no longer log on.

Of course, being nice and user friendly <g>, it actually doesn't tell you what is going on. All it does is proceed to the "Verifying user account..." message box and then time out with a message that you could not be authorised. Really intuitive, that.

Anyway, just check that your create log file option is turned off after you have debugged your modem setup.
