Downloaded it as chunks, used !SparkPlug to install it on the A3010,
no probs. Ran it and configured it no probs. Dialled up Demon no
probs.
Web Browser - not enough memory.
FTP - froze the machine (mouse moved on screen but no response to
buttons). This was repeated 3 times, same effect each time, waiting up
to 5 minutes for something to happen. Nothing did.
Time - couldn't find server.
Mail & News - not tried yet... I want to keep all my e-mail & news in
one place for the time being.

In short, only semi-successful. I'm encouraged by the fact I got
slipdial running; shame about Frontend - it's a neat idea, but it's
obviously using memory that the internet apps can't use, therefore
it's a bit self-defeating IMHO. (Before the flames start, bear in mind
I'm new to Acorns ;-)

I'll try ArmTCP, as Kira suggested, and play around seeing what works
and what doesn't :)

btw, I really appreciate all the help, suggestions, and advice given
by everyone thus far :) Thanks.

I joined my university's "Apathy Society". I was quickly thrown out
for turning up to one of the meetings; they said I was shown too much
interest.
