Hi All

It seems that Ive finally made a connection tothis list,
Ive beentrying to do thisfor some time as im intersted in using dos with 
broadband as well.
Im an IBM Thinkpad enthusiast/ collector here in Dorset UK, and the 
last Thinkpad that IBM made with all the drivers for dos was the 390x.
thisis a 15in screen p111/ 500 with 256 megs  ram.
Ive put dos 6.2 andWFWGS on it.
As ive Virgin .net broadband on ADSL max average connection speed  up to 
3mbs due to being 6k from the exchange,
Im using the netgear  pcmcia cat 5 interface to the Linksys router,
This Netgear has the drivers  for dos and connects to  broadband  using 
Netscape  3 or  Opera 6.
However ,
when trying to load Arachne in dos it comes up with the message 
insufficient base memory to run .
Now ive tried to run Arachne in a dos window in  but this doesnt work.
Obviously there are too many tsr's loading to leave enough base memory 
for arachne.
I can post thefigures in due course , if theres any interest in this 
problem.
Neeless to say I use anoter Thinkpad runnning  Linux for my daily net 
connections wnich has the cat 5 connection on the back .
The softwatre setupfor this router is done by a friend who hinks im mad 
to play around with dos.
However its the only os that I can get my head around.
Ted. frater..
