OK, Eric, thanks for taking care of the MCI problems. The main
problem remains: I cannot connect to the Internet with the game
(Zillions of Games).
The following post discusses a similar Wine problem ("Unable to
initialize network provider") with Starcraft, and suggests that
a workaround is to run the game as root. Much as I dislike this
for security reasons, I tried it anyway, but even when running
Zillions as root, I still could not connect.

Any other suggestions from the Wine community? TIA.
