Tom,
Here are some directions for setup and sample Arachne
config file sent into the Arachne list by Roger Turk.

We both have similar machines and I also use Freewwweb, so I think that I can
help you in that respect.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
NOTE 1: Give the "Profile" a name that will identify which profile you are
using, e.g., FW.ACF for browsing using Freewwweb; FW-HOT.ACF for getting your
mail from Hotmail, etc.
NOTE 2: These would get your mail from Freewwweb, but not from Hotmail. You
would have to create a different profile to download your mail from Hotmail
using the proper SMTP and POP3 entries for Hotmail.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Once you make the changes to ARACHNE.CFG and are able to browse the web thru
Freewwweb, copy ARACHNE.CFG to FW.ACF (or whatever you want to name it).
Then go thru ARACHNE.CFG again and make changes to SMTP and POP3 so that you
can get mail from Hotmail. Once that works, copy ARACHNE.CFG to FW-HOT.ACF
(or whatever you want to name it.)
Freewwweb is apparently experiencing growing pains and has too few lines at
their telephone numbers which makes connections hard some times of the day.
I am going to post this message to the list and also send it to your Hotmail
and Freewwweb addresses.
Hope this helps.

Your ARACHNE.CFG was:
;This is ARACHNE.CFG for Arachne version 1.4+
;If you want to use Arachne on PC with CPU 486+ you should start here.
;(tested on AMD K5/133)
;This configuration file can be completely controled from Arachne setup.
;Run "setup" if you are not sure what to change in configuration file.
