Seems likely that it was a client for some online service. Though I
don't remember it. I was big into Prodigy at the time, but also had
accounts on CompuServe & GEnie, as well as some Washington DC area
BBS's. That's what people thought of back then when you said
"online".
It's old enough that it's unlikely it's anything even remotely TCP/IP
related. In '91 as far as MS was concerned the Internet and TCP/IP
didn't exist. In '92 it was *almost* impossible to find a commercial
ISP.

OK, does anyone know what this is??

Google fails me on this, other than to find that a guy once wrote a
manual for it.
My (uninformed) guess is that it's an early TCP/IP stack for Windows 3.x.
I have a vague recollection that it was something like a BBS client
sort of thing, something like CompuServe CIM of the same era.
If it is the thing I am thinking it was, one use of it at the time was
to post questions to Microsoft product support engineers.
