Ok, I'll get a few when I can.
I have a power plug...
I've set up an account for freewwweb.com which supports standard PPP, so the
mac should be able to connect, and there is a number local to kansas city
yes I mean AIM, not just aol
I was wanting a browser to actually use to download AIM and IRCle, etc
and all my email accounts, I can access either through web-based interface
or through telnet to a linux shell account
speaking of linux, does anyone know if there is a version of linux that will
work on a duo 280c?
thanks for your help
I'll probably reply again...in about a week...after I go through the tons of
email I'll get from this list..
bye
