If you are using it to send/receive your mail, as long as you 
can get the machine to log onto the I-net it will work.  

I do that with IREX.  On a mail run, I never see, let alone load, 
my ISP home page.  I just call them up via DUN.  

Your machine is not the ideal for Surfing.  But, it will perform 
more than adequately for message and even file transfering.  I 
did that with a similar system and a 38.8 modem.
