*!VERY IMPORTANT!* immediately! when you are talking about a browser for DOS you MUST stress that a New connection is needed with one's ISP - most DOS only people have only a "shell" dial-up connection - This MUST be upgraded to a more expensive -> Slip/PPP dial-up connection/account <- which enables web "surfing" - Minuet from the Univ. of Minn is shareware $50. and comes with its own dialer AND IS "SUPPORTED" [ before web "surfing" one must establish a PPP(ppp) connection to one's ISP with a dialer ] On the web there Was a page with instructions from the Univ. of Utah on how to set up the dialer program KERMIT with the Univ. of Kans.'s DOSLynx WHICH IS "NOT SUPPORTEDI have some old e-mails documenting setup of Minuet that I will be happy to foward to you personally if you want
