Phil,
I've got my duo 230 running running system 7.1., 12 meg ram. and an
internal 14.4 modem. I use free ppp 2.5v2 to get on the internet. I've
recently "upgraded" to Eudora 1.5.3 and had been running Eudora 1.3.1. I
made the switch because 1.3.1 wouldn't let me make non-standard pop account
configurations that my new ISP demanded. Email seems to be working great.
I haven't done much browsing since the duo/modem is slow as dirt and not in
color. I've got Mosaic 2.0.1 installed and it doesn't work very well on my
machine. I've recently installed Netscape 1.12 but I haven't used it much.
I haven't tried maclynx on this machine but it might be worth a try if you
can get away with text only.
Ron

> I would be very grateful for advice (system configuration, software,

> It's got 24MB RAM, system 7.5 installed, and an Apple express internal
> modem.
>
> Regarding browsers, is iCab a good option (albeit still time-limited)?
>
> As for e-mail clients, what's lightest yet efficient? eudora light (which

>
> I'll need to run filemaker pro and word 5, so hopefully there are apps that
> don't gobble all the RAM; i'd be prepared to use an earlier system, if
> that's possible (strangely enough, it looks like the previous owner was
> happy dedicating 23MB to the system alone...)
>
> Thanks in advance for your wisdoms.
