(with AmitCP or MLINK, >PPP, MUI 3.3. on an A1200 030 w/ 4M fast ram added). I use Amosaic myself because it's the most stable. I may lose my connection sometimes but my hard drive has never been trashed. I run Ibrowse on a seperate 25 mg partition and I've had to reformat that partition twice. To tell you the truth, because of the bad experiences with Ibrowse, i haven't even tried Aweb. Eric D. Jackson ejack@user1.channel1.com
