one thing:

I cannot find a browser with a dialer that I can configure to work on
this wee beastie! Have any of you used a similar setup and got a
browser installed and working? I have AOL on the machine and working,
but do not want to use it. I want to connect to my account at
Eskimo.com and surf from there.....(no offense AOL, but sometimes you
suck!)

I can use my terminal program and connect to my ISP (Eskimo).....but
that is about as far as I can get. Can I use something that would
resemble Window's Dialup Connection?

Hi,
I had purchased Netscape 2 personal edition, came with nice dialer.
There were six (6) floppy diskettes in the 3.1/95 installation set.
Later, I used that same dialer on NN 304 + NN47 on 70/90/76 units.
I think you can go to www.sillydog.org, select Netscape archives.
Then go to bottom of that page. It Might be in that NN2 download?
But many people use their AOL connection, then start another browser.
