Hm, for me Mozilla isn't even usable *locally* for me on a 300Mhz PII. I suppose it's possible that this doesn't get any worse when squeezed over DSL. Ray> XEmacs over the same link is a non-starter.

Well, I've got the toolbar switched off, and I routinely use XEmacs over a 38400bps modem line. It isn't spiffy, but it's quite bearable. Over DSL, XEmacs essentially feels almost like it's run locally for me. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
