Well, I don't agree with you.
I'm using Netscape for Windows on my PC 386DX-40 via Slip/PPP
and a v32bis modem quite often and it is not THAT slow. In fact
I get quite fast response times in off peak hours (2-5 am ;-))).
I tried also Lynx but without the grafics WWW isn't that attractive...

Why should PPP for SAM be a problem for someone? Unfortunately SAM is
so little known that nobody would bother... :-(

> I strongly suspect speed would be very S L O W !

I don't know the tecnical details of the Slip/PPP protocols so I can't
comment on that, but once Slip/PPP works, writing a Netscape clone
would be a minor problem me thinks...

Bye, Arne
