Hi Ken; I got around to trying it for you. You better grab a chair !! Hardware: 33mhz '486 with 33600 modem - connection speed was RX 28800. Software: Netscape 2.02/Win 3.11/DOS 3.3 PC-Cache 800k HD cache. After the annoying initial frame load time, the images kept coming every 20 seconds. They stayed on the screen for a full *9* seconds after the "Document done" message appeared. i.e. after the image was complete. Re-read my original comment. <G> There are an AWFUL lot of people out there that can't face the truth. <snort> And they usually just say, "Well, if you had a decent computer...." </snort> - Clarence Verge -- - Help stamp out FATWARE.
