Oops seems you have a mixture of OS 7 and OS 8.6, did you install OS 8.6 over OS 7? If so do a clean install of OS 8.6. OS 8.6 is completely different from OS 7 and most of it's extensions and control panels are incompatible with OS 8.6 f.e. the ObjectSupportLib from OS 7 causes heavy crashes on OS 8.6. I suggest you do a clean install of OS 8.6. > I have both IE 4.5 and NCommunicator 4.5 -installed > but I'd prefer standalones, and prefer my default email as > my Eudora Pro 3 ( which is working flawlessly). There are newer versions of all apps available which clear a lot of bugs, IE is at 5.1.4, Netscape at 4.79 and 6.2. Eudora at 5.x I think. > Is the Remote Access Client, which seems to have the same > fill-in fields as OT/PPP, meant to REPLACE > OT/PPP when running OS 8.6 or work in conjunction with? YES, the Remote Access control panel is what used to be the PPP control panel. The Remote Access Client is a little app in the Apple menu which you can use to connect and disconnect. You use the Remote Access control panel to fill in your ISP phone number, login and password. > i.e., should I lose the PPP and drag the Remote Access Client > from the finder into Control Panels? No, do a clean install of OS 8.6. Then go to the websites of the apps you use and see if there are updates available for use with OS 8.6 and up. There are also some Apple updates needed to be installed after the installation of OS 8.6 such as the Font Manager update. You can find updates at http://www.versiontracker.com and Apple updates at http://asu.info.apple.com (on the next page click on the new link).
