This biggest issue would be the modem speed. If its a winmodem you might get away with just upgrading the drivers. Otherwise rip it out and put an external one on. And run Opera as the browser and email client.	SoniKalien (792)

If you can keep away from IE6 ... and probably the later Netscape versions, the perfomance should be acceptable.	Graham L (2)

I still get the feeling that it has never forgiven me. Looking at it from the perspective of an OAP I reckon that an operating system upgrade would be a good idea. Win98 or (dare I say it) ME at least so that it supports auto-updates. At least then you can be reasonably sure that the operating system isn't too full of holes. Main hassle with ME is the need for at least a 166Mhz machine.	Gorela (901)
