I just went and did a "no connection" install....I think we can
remove all the communication components from the standard Arachne
package.  They are, after all, mostly separate programs.

Then we can remove all the pages that deal with "dialup" "ethernet"
"packet drivers" and such, and substitute different pages that
do not refer to any communication capability.  This would not be
deceitful, since all the communication components would not be
there, anymore.

The question is...just how REALLY technically knowledgeable are
those foreign "checkers" going to be...?  Will they just look on
some list, see "Arachne - browser" and refused it, or will they
actually look to see if it has communication capabilities..??

This one can't have a quick answer.  I haven't checked your links, yet,
and it will take some time to digest, once I do.
