Hmmm... there's an inconsistency there. If M$ adjusts the code, they have to get the ISPs to upgrade their server software to the new versions -- not so hard to do as free updates to all such customers are usually taken up. But then they have to get the home users to upgrade their client software to work with the upgraded servers. Not such an easy thing to do as a lot of the people are using outdated W98, W95 or even W3x software. And often these people won't take up offers of free upgrades. And please note that it _WAS_ possible to make connection to the EnableNet site with Netscape 3 (1996 release) and Opera 3.62 (1998), running on Win 3.11. Both of these browsers are the exact same versions that I originnaly downloaded several years ago. No upgrades there. The version of Lynx for DOS version that also got me in is dated 1999. > IMO...... zero chance. :(( IMO, if this old stuff still works inspite of the alleged attempts by M$ to block old browsers, there is MUCH greater than zero chance of finding a workable solution for Arachne. For what it's worth, below is the relevant part of the Lynx Cookies file, that connected me successfully to EnableNet.
