 I've got just two so far, one enables MultiMail configured
 the way _I_ want it and not what 98 does left to it's own devices.
 The other shortcut is tomy ISP's dialer.
 Hey got a 52K connection yesterday!
 50 percent of the time 50667KB with the rest mostly 47 - 49.
 Still need to download Netscapes dialer to see if faster
 in logging on than the one on the 0EM installation.

The manual for my 486 was extremely detailed, spec'ed
everything out, ID'ed and explained jumpers and options
ect. The manual and diagnostic tools
for the H.P. are pathetic. Still haven't found out about
processor upgrades and failled to find the refered to
driver update at H.P.'s web site.
I guess support these days is limited to 1/2 the expected CMOS
battery life :-(
