Okay, I hate Microsoft as much as the next guy, but installing Linux on an ongoing hodgepodge collection of 486's can't be anything but masochism! Sadly, I must confess to having to support a number of Win 3.1 machines, including a few with Internet access. I recommend the "full install" version 3.03 of Internet Explorer, which includes a TCP/IP stack and dialer. Personally, I preferred Netscape Navigator 2.02 and 3.04 over IE 3.02, but Netscape never bundled a public domain dialer with their Win/WfW 3x stuff (one can use the MS IE dialer though). You can get IE 3.03 at (long) URL: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/iebuild/ie3sp1_win16/en/ie3sp1_win16 .htm On Monday, October 25, 1999 3:19 AM, Charles McCathieNevile [SMTP:charles@w3.org] wrote: > An alternative is to install linux, an X window system, and then you can > probably use an up to date version of Netscape or Mozilla. > > Charles McCN > > > On Sun, 24 Oct 1999, Glenda Watson Hyatt wrote: > > Hi folks, > > I have a question regarding browsers, but non-accessibility related. > What browser, preferably graphical, would you recommend for a 486 with > Windows 3.1?
