ZTerm will run on Mac OS 6.8 and up, Black Night on 7.x and up. Mac HTTP uses 7.x also. I'm using 68K Macs exclusively: my SE30 running OS 7.1 uses Black Night to dial up my community net text account. It uses Open Transport, Free PPP and iCab for graphic access. I also have a IIfx using the same set up but on OS 7.5.5. All of this over a SupraExpress 33.6 modem. scb -- Scott Barber <http://www.chebucto.ca/~az627/webWader.html> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / No HTML/RTF in email X No Word docs in email / \ Respect for open standards -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
