- I was using this same setup until recently. It will work but graphics
- will be very slow. If using Netscape you may opt not to autoload
- pictures to increase speed. Also Netscape runs slowly in 4MB of RAM
- whether you are using 386 or 486 because of all the file swapping
- taking place. A 28.8 modem is an excellent idea buy name brand!
- Good Luck!
