I had best luck with Netscape 4.5 and 4.8 on my old Duo 2300c. It had 40 mb RAM and still swapped out to disk a lot, but out of Icab, IE, Mozilla, and Opera even it wuz the best. I found Mozilla to be horribly unstable.
It would really help you to find a Global Village external 56K. They work fantastic on the Duos, even with really noisy phone lines - you haven't lived until you've worked over a dialup in bush Alaska!
Hope this helps, Stephen
I'd like to add that over years of living in the Maine boonies I've
had great success using a Diamond SupraExpress external 56K serial modem.
Unlike with GV, you don't need to install any extra software for it to run
just fine on the Mac OS.
As for browsers, there's surely no accounting for taste. Some prefer today's
iCab (which still offers even a 68K version) or the venerable and reasonably
bug-free but noncompliant Netscape 4.8, but there's a terrific, debugged version
of Mozilla 1.3.x for Classic available these days from <wamcom.org/> which seems
by far the best of the lot!
