Sure you can! Try iCab. Ought to be very fast, is standards compliant, can masquerade as any of the others, and runs on much less memory. I once tried one of those external USR 56K modems and frankly prefer the Diamond Supra for speed. My USR was very slow too. I think that's because it's based on X2 technology, a dead end. (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong about this). As for NC4.8, you can slim it down considerably by trashing all the modules you're not gonna use before you start the install process. I find Mozilla 1.2b faster though, and those tabbed pages are handy. Bob F ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
