Hi! Me again, with *another* problem. 

I'd like to be able to listen to live broadcasts of US baseball games via
broadcast.com (I'm a big fan. and it's all getting a bit too exciting to
follow just via email reports and twice-weekly Channel 5 shows!)

Their site tells me I need Real Player 5.0 and NetShow. However, both need
a PowerPC processor, and I have an LCIII (i.e. 68030). The RealPlayer site 
does give the alternative of the RealAudio Player 3.0, but even that needs
a 68040 with FPU.

I do have 36MB RAM and am running system 7.6 (thanks to people here!) but
can't see a way round the processor problem without getting an upgrade
card, which would create other problems (not least the cost). Is there any
way of getting RealAudio on my Mac as it is?
