hen I had DSL you had to run their litttle "Macpoet" software because 
OS9 was not ppoe.
  This software was a Kludge and they admitted it. Other than a browser 
it was not inclined to let the mac use the net in the smoothly 
integrated way we do now.
Peace and double peace and fgood will if I can find any.
