I'm on Demon (of course with a Mac) and use Communicator 4.5 because everything is sort 'all-in' and I like that facility. However, am I a loner or do the majority prefer IE4/5 or what? Steve Grayston

I used Explorer for a while, but after Communicator got to v4 I switched back to Netscape, and am currently using 4.5. As you say, it's all in and does what I want it to. I also find it faster than Explorer. I still have Explorer on my system and use it for testing my own pages, along with iCab also. I'd say the best is whichever you get along with. -- Cheers ...

I say this as I often hear Mac users saying they are having trouble with PPP and TCP/IP. I don't get any problems� Steve

I > don't get any problems� I use FreePPP. Still 1.0.4 as I tried to update to 2.6 and it never worked, but I never spent any time trying to get it working either, so it was probably something minor. At the time I had other problems and couldn't be that bothered with it. I did use PPP when I first upgraded to OS 8 but I got a raft of problems with that I couldn't cure. Free PPP cured them all in one go an has been reliable ever since. -- Cheers ... Antony

At the time I had other problems and >couldn't be that bothered with it. For what it's worth, I'm using FreePPP 2.6.2 with OT 1.3 and sys 8.1. It's a very nice combination indeed. I was previously using FreePPP 1.0.5 which was very nice, small and spanner-like, and also substantially more stable than 1.0.4. The Installation of 2.6.2 over 1.0.5 was an absolute piece of cake, with a minimum of conversion of the account details; they have to be tweaked just a little, but it's a simple task. 2.6.2 was definitely quicker than 1.0.5 on a 7500/100 with sys 7.5.2, and it also lacked a few "features" that had crept into 1.0.5 (mainly evident when using Addmail). I was very reluctant to switch but am now very happy that I did. On a G3, 2.6.2 fairly flies and is very simple to use. -- Peter

I'm the same FreePPP, OT 1.3 and 8.1 SG
