Gezzz, UnRegistered Shapeshifter, Devicefiles are REALLY REALLY Slow.  Makes
the Mac Really SLOW, which makes everything else running on it SSLLLOOWW!!!
But hey if you want to give it a try, just make sure your in B&W mode that'll
help a little.

Anyway all you need it MacTCP which comes with System 7.5+, and Slip or PPP
software, there's InterSlip for SLIP, and MacPPP for PPP.  Both are FREE and
you can find them at many locations.  Your ISP probley has it on there system
in the Mac Area.  I looked at InterSlip, what a PAIN.  Looked at MacPPP
Simple!  If you can do PPP then use MacPPP,  there are other PPP programs like
FreePPP, which I tryed first, but had nothen but problems untel I turned off
ALL of the Extentions.  MacPPP works quite well.

Then get a copy of Netscape or whatever.  The nice thing is when everything is
setup right, You loadup Netscape, and if you NOT already connected to the
Internet, when you select a Locations to go to, It'll Automtially Startup
MacPPP, Dial out to the ISP, Log it and Connect right up, off you go Surfing
the Web.  I'm using the Newest Netscape on System 7.5.1 and I have forgoten
the last time my system has Crashed running it.

It's not all that hard, Much simpler then Amiga Stuff.
