Hi Vanessa, I think everyone on the list has probably told you about free ISP sites etc. but you're probably still wondering about what to do with downloading stuff that doesn't seem to be placed in the right place. I can't offer any sensible advice as to why this is occuring to you (tried running NDD or something similar - hard disk in tatters?), but here is a dumb fix which I used on my Duo 280 when I first got it and whenever I wanted to load relatively large applications or updates. I charged out and bought a Mac magazine which had system 7 updates and/or Eudora Lite on their incl. CD (not sure that this is possible in the era of OS9 for the sys 7 stuff but check around friends houses for older copies?), I had no ext. floppy drive so I configured appletalk and set up a small two machine network with a desktop computer that did have a CD-ROM. I copied the whole installer software onto my harddrive - while this is slow on the serial cable it was sure quicker than doing it on the web. Ran the installer from my machine. Robert was my fathers brother. HTH Robin ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
