off-topic: About:Cache Right below the toolbar. The box where you type in a URL. BTW, I'm running a P200MMX with 128 meg of RAM and it gets absolutely humbled while running Navigator and Windoze95. But Navigator has a nasty habit of glomming onto an excessive amount of memory and not releasing it when you close it. If I open it and close it enough, I can have as little as 4k of RAM left, at which time I need to reboot to get it all back.

Bill, if you are using Netscape 4.0+ look under edit, advanced, then cache. You can change there if you find it helps. Ken

Bill and all who are using a modem and Win 95, I'm just catching up on my reading and so I'm sure this response seems to be way behind. I was reading about your download speed problems and I think that I found something recently that can help. All versions of Windows 95 (including OSR2) have a Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) setting in the Windows Registry of 1500. This is correct for LAN's and ethernet connections, but results in fragmenting the information into multiple packets when using TCP/IP. Any IP router encountered on the internet set to less than 1500 will cause this. The 'internet standard' MTU setting is 576 bytes. There is a neat site on the internet that has a freeware program called Tweak Dun that will adjust MTU, MSS and RWIN Registry entries. Check sns-access.com Go to this site and read about it. I recommend that you back up the two hidden registry files before doing this, but I did it and it definately works! Everybody in my work area has tried this and has achieved something like double the download rate they had before. Good Luck.
