Ron,
My mistake on the location of the software; I'd simply looked at the URL
and that was local to their server, not a direct link to arachne.cz

Since you also are a heathen <G>, I'll go with your greater experience
with, and knowledge of, the site ...
Michael may not have the time, and since you are a "fellow ozzie" to the
owner of the site, you might {?} consider dropping him a quick note
saying that Arachne will run just fine with his modem as long as he's
using a DOS box to run it in? ... That's correct, isn't it?
And it may well be worth the effort ... Arachne is now better for Win3.x
than the old NS & IE, isn't it???
