[Duo2400] Re: Which browser? & 96meg RAM

[Larry Friedman]

I seem to remember using Nutscrape 4.73 and IE 4.5 (I needed both to 
test the site I designed). I just like the reports of how little 
resources iCab uses, and that its a pretty good browser. My 2400 only 
has 48ram so I do have to be a bit careful until I can find a RD8 
installer. I have my serial numbers, but no installers.

PS. I need the installers for the GV Platinum Pro Ethernet/Modem card, 
anyone out there have them by any chance? All I can get from GV's site 
are some updaters.
