bigsadhu Junior Member Cayman Island 462 Posts	Posted - 17 Feb 2002 : 00:14:50 Telstra Cable on a 6100/60. Fat pipe + puny faucet = sloooooooow internet. Still working on getting the Q800 (now running A/UX) plugged in but, typically, there's no 68K launchpad client available. I did find a POSIX compliant client written by a third party for Linux, but don't have the skills or knowledge to know whether this would work on the Quadra, or indeed how to compile or install it (yes, I'm a CUI... complete Unix ignoramus). Suggestions welcome folks. Later Current score: 1 Apple //e 1 Quadra 800 1 Powermac 6100

AnubisTTP Junior Member USA 308 Posts	Posted - 17 Feb 2002 : 07:43:23 I use Netscape 4.51 on a 250mhz Wallstreet most of the time. Microsoft can take my web browser when they pull it out of my cold dead fingers. I have a special version of Netscape that I hacked the agent info in with resedit to use when I want to view a site that doesn't allow Macs, I changed it so that it says I am running CP/M 2.1 on a Kaypro 2X.

To browse the forums, I normally use my dear Fides (Pismo/400), running Mac OS X 10.1.2. My browser of choice is the OmniWeb 4.1 sneaky peek. (Why does that qualify as selling out? At least I don't use a Windows machine... except when I'm on portering duty and I use the one in the office, as I'm doing now. That doesn't count, because that's not my machine. I'm just using it because there's no Mac here.) My Internet connection is Bell Sympatico HSE, which is a megabit-down ADSL line using PPPoE authentication. (And if anyone knows of a PPPoE client for a 68k machine, I will love him/her/it forever!)

TiMacLover Senior Member USA 1282 Posts	Posted - 18 Feb 2002 : 04:16:00 I think we solved my bad grammar, I get major lag on my 610 with Netscape 4 open, AIM, and IRCLE, I have lag and i also have over 10 AIM windows open so I have no time to reread my posts because I have to respond to all these IM's and fix them. I think that I am the only one in the entire army who relies completly on a 68k mac, wow I am special But ne hoo GORDOOM I have Pacbell ADSL and I use something called Ethernet 300, although it was recently cut off from the pacbell support longin app thingy list it works and they say with will forever! But I do image that It will also work for you, it uses PPPoE, it is said to use only on PPC's but I never listen to Big Brother and It worked, just like Mac OS X (jk!) I can send you the installer or copy the cd and send to you but im not sure when I could get my hands on a CDR drive, but I can send a copy on the installer to you through email or put on the 68k hotline server so tell me and I can later.

AnubisTTP Junior Member USA 308 Posts	Posted - 18 Feb 2002 : 07:40:17 Yeah the hacked browser works more or less, the only problem is that it screws up the rendering of sites that need to know what browser you are using to render properly. The agent information is stored in STR# resourse 210. All you have to do is make a copy of the Netscape application and change the strings with Resedit.

(Bell Sympatico's "Access Manager" client is just a branded version of Enternet, so that's perfect! Or if they've taken and stripped out the fat binary code and left it PPC-only, I"ll leech the full version from the Hotline server.)

That's where I am for 43 hours a week so it's my main free time.
