Thanks very much for this info. As my own lines are a little feeble I was
much helped by the complete overview.
As I have set up the system for my son in Holland but had to leave before
he had a ISP I went with Arachne in their site and got him a username and
password. No difficulties there although I had the feeling that there must
have been some java on the site because although practically the whole page
was downloaded it kept working. Just stopping the download resulted in a
complete, workable and readable page every time and again so I have great
hope that this free site is usable ;-). They will supply a useless cd rom
(no CD player installed with some freeware= bloatware which will not run on
his system anyhow ;-). But Arachne installed fine on his 486 and I was able
to access the net with my roaming agreement. A Windows instructor (he makes
a living from that) who saw Arachne was more as astonished that DOS could
access the web <vbg>
