Boy, you're NO fun at all, Ron! :-)

I don't know exactly what is required, but why use STiK to dial? If
someone could write a program to co-ordinate the standard TOS modem
programs like Stalker, Connect and Flash with CAB or other HTML
progs. You could use your standard modem program to dial and
connect, then bring down the online WEB browser from the ACC menu.
Would it really be that hard? 

RH> shouldn't require I set aside a 10 meg partition, load an

RH> programs scroll down on pages!).

I agree, but I would be even willing to put up with those
limitiations if the WWW browser worked decently. But when I have a
Falcon capable of 256 colours++, a mono browser that moves along at
a snail's pace just doesn't hack it! :-_
