Using BL2 alpha on my 486 DX2 66 with 20 MB RAM. Works like a charm so far. I logged into my webmail using Links and am writing this message with it in the webmail interface. Nice work, Steven! Big performance improvement (of course, I'm running solely in RAM, which helps). On this machine, I have naim installed on the HD. Mounted the relevant partition and copied the naim binary over to the /tmp dir. Runs great! Like the author said, the help files are inaccessible, though. I'm beinning to think that maybe a binary with the help files compiled in is the way to go. Anyway, initial tests make it look like you're on the right track. Everything has gone very smoothly. PPPsetup worked as well as it always has. Hope to do more testing soon and report on any issues I find.
