Thomas,
On my Compaq 575 I use a Netdial 1.3 - Arachne 1.60 combo using
epppdd to connect, and have the output redirected to a "output.txt"
file with a >. It cuts down on the amount of output that scrolls down
the screen, and it's in "output.txt" should I want to look at it.
It's interesting, but I have no control over what's there, all I
am concerned with is 100% connections, and I get that now.
I have several computers, mostly old ones, and work with one for
a while, then move the improvements I develop to the others, if
applicable. Some don't get played with much. All of them, however,
have getting on the web as their focus. Arachne is used on all of
them, as is WIN 3.1. On this one, I have WIN 98, and get into
Arachne and Bobcat using a boot disk. WIN 98 can let me into my
old configuration at bootup if I F8, but passes me by a lot of
times, hence the boot disk.
Those machines you are thinking about exploring seem quite powerful,
and it would be a challenge to get them running with Netscape, etc.
You might have to say goodby to Arachne if they don't have DOS on
them, I'm not sure.
Thanks,
