Arachne never failed me dealing with e-mail so she is 100% relaiable for
mailing. However there are some complaints about the internet www stuff.
The only complaints I have are ISP related.
The "S" in ISP stands for "SERVICE" isn't it....
It just took me 15 minutes to collect 1.5Mb of mail which means 100Kb
per minute with a 56Kb/second modem... IT'S A SHAME but the cause is not
Arachne... M$ Outlook is less relaiable!
