It downloads in the 48K/sec range. YDL just runs in the background for weeks at a time connected to a second phone line. It is much more stable than IPNetRouter running on any version of the classic Mac OS. >My poor little 4/40 classic cant keep a browser running long to make >surfing worth while. It will do email and I guess ftp ok though. Same here. I don't know of a browser that works well on System 6. Samba (MacWWW) crashes all the time. >We use an old pc running Mandrake for routing and firewall stuff now, the 7300 >has its 3 slots in use and is still used as a workstation so the task is >better handled by the old pc.

I use YDL because it will run on a Nubus Mac (Powermac 6100) reasonably well. Netatalk enables me to connect up to shared folders in /home with less hassle than with Appletalk. >Mosaic on the amiga 500 functions much better than MacWeb or the mac >port of mosaic, has there been any progress in the search for a working >68000 mac browser? Again, I think the only browser that will work at all on System 6 is Samba. I would sure like to hear different. >I really should reply to this list from one of the classics, what email >or ftp client would folks recommend for os6 or 7? I use Fetch 2.1.2 and Eudora 1.3.1 without so much as a hiccup. __ This message comes to you from the blazingly fast 8MHz Mac Plus (1986) of: Thomas Carlson 4125 S.
