First I tried the pocket Arachne from a few weeks ago and got no further
than memorytype and videotype in the setup, that both failed...

Error loading font file: system\fontinfo.bin

Now I downloaded "pa195386.zip"
The setup pages were there with the right videomode...

But how to install the right packetdriver?
No '//doc//lan.htm' available.
I use Arachne with a RTL8139 LAn-card and rtspkt.com driver; rtspkt 0x60

There is some room on the diskette and I added rtspkt.com and changed
the autoexec.bat to run it.

But to connect to the modem I have to use telnet, that is not in the
packet and is too large to fit on the diskette also... how to proceed?

Original C:\ has gone
Original D:\ changed to C:\
Virtual disk = D:\

Alt-X is not functioning => "No network interface available"

In setup: 'use new settings' failed

Glenn how did you construct pa195386.zip so that I can add files that i
need and abandon files I don't need. EG phone dail in that can't be used
overhere.
