- : How on earth can a web browser be stand-alone? You NEED a TCP/IP stack to
- : connect to the web. And you don't need your communications program to dial in -
- : use a simple dialer and put it in a script that also runs StartNet.
-
- : You say the because of that you almost never browse the web. Well since the web
- : is part of the Internet, and you need to use IPv4 to connect to the 'net,
- : it's not exactly a valid reason....
-
- Wrong answer! You can run a browser without TCP. I do it all the time
- with Netscape AND Ibrowse. You do need the stack to connect to the web,
- and maybe this is what you meant. :)
