I received the netscape personal edition 1.2 from my sysop, they gave it
away to many companies at conferences..

I have been told to use various telnet products, and have never successfully
installed 
on personal machines (have on networks etc) a telnet with browser product.I
can telnet from my isp, but it's the slip/ppp product with browser I am
having the problem with.

If anyone can tell me how I would be grateful.

The comment below reflects exactly how I feel, struggling to put personal
computer users online.
