  With this, we can do e-mail, and text-based
internet stuff (I've got
 Windows telnet and ftp programs as well), but graphic web browsing
 is out (they all require a 386 or better). 
Have you taken a look at Arachne? I've not run it on anything but my
trusty office 486 yet, but it claims to be able to run on anything
PCish. 
Yes, I looked at, but didn't try out Arachne. It's documentation said you
had to have a 386 to do graphical stuff. Might be a better text web browser
than Nettamer, though.
