Yes, the alternative version from Ray does not have any problems with 
lack of memory :-))
I too have a lack of memory with the standard Arachne (1.90) and I have 
to quit Norton Commander to free memory AND to switch off the CD-players.
Perhaps that might help.

BTW: I am interested how you managed to connect via the PCMCIA slot.
         At the moment I am still struggeling with my desktop machine 
to connect to ADSL internet and after that succeeds I will try to 
connect with Arachne with 1 or 2 of my laptops that does not have a 
local area network port. Just PCMCIA slots.
