Much less reliable on my system, with IBrowse the worst of the lot.  AWeb only 
rarely hangs, but doesn't do things like forms, some graphics, and some downloads, 
where Mosaic plods along but handles virtually everything thrown at it, even if it 
can't display it.  About the only time it freezes up is when the system is under 
very heavy use.  Not as fancy or fast, but I'll take it any day until the others 
are as reliable.  (with AmitCP or MLINK, PPP, MUI 3.3. on an A1200 030 w/ 4M fast 
ram added).
