You are probably right ... I really don't know why
my ISP's "shtml" pages crash Arachne. :-(
I sent you some clues (test results) on this earlier,
new clues I can add (this from the Home "html" page,
where most of the links are to those "shtml" pages) :
1. "Page Toolbar - Verify Links" is happy.
2. "Page Toolbar - Request all links" will download
several of these "shtml" pages before crashing
Arachne (whereas, individually, any of these
"shtml" pages will crash Arachne).

Good! :-)
On the subject of memory requirements, is there any
possibility that the "PPP packet driver" could be made
DPMS-aware? This might be a good way to reduce Arachne's
overall memory requirements ... I think Novell made
their DPMS driver for DOS as freeware (?).
Best regards,
Joe.
