When I bought my first computer in 1990, I thought VGA was worth the extra
money, much better than black & yellow, black & green, or black & white.

I don't think I ever got to actually run Bobcat. No need, on a Cx486DX2-S at
66 MHz, with 20 MB RAM. But I ran out of memory with DOSLYNX, old style with
pulldown menus, unable to access above 1 MB. This DOSLYNX was a culture shock
when I first ran it!
I believe Net-Tamer 386 version has much more functionality than the versions
for 286 & lower CPUs. I think UKA_PPP with TCPPORT might run on 286 and lower.
How was the 56Kb modem a bottleneck? Too fast for the CPU?
