I installed Arachne 1.66. When the dial succeeded but login failed, due to
Arachne using non-automatic BBS-style login instead of the correct PAP, I
changed ARACHNE.CFG to run with Connection READY and Hangup NUL, dialing with
EPPPD and CHAT. So Arachne found my modem on COM4 IRQ 5 but couldn't get the
login straight. Maybe I could have made it work by editing ARACHNE.CFG.
When I connected, I let Arachne go to default home page, http://home.arachne.cz
Then I saw a little error message in upper left corner (memory problem?), and
Arachne came back, but it lost the TCP/IP connection. However I was able to
exit Arachne and use DOS Lynx386, so I was still connected.
Next time, I browsed http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/textversion/main.html, OK so
far, but then going to the national page failed to display most of the links.
Subsequently, going to States, Kentucky, Hourly, I got two vertical panels
obstructing the view in the left and middle. This didn't happen with
Arachne 1.61 and earlier versions that I ran. I believe the national page stays
the same for long periods of time, while hourly reports would change 24 or more
times every day. I saved the pages with F2. The pages viewed correctly with
the old decrepit IBM Web Explorer for OS/2 Warp. Anybody who wants to view
these saved pages will have to block-copy to a file whose name ends in .HTM.
See how it shows in Arachne 1.66 and in another browser for comparison
(offline OK).
Here is what I got from http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/textversion/national.html
