Sorry for the offtopic, but "arachne" actually reminds me of the greek word "αράχνη" (which is spelled arachni, with emphasis on the 2nd a (ά)) and means spider. Actually this is pretty damn the same word in english and greek, just with different writing! 😁 Everything's connected out there, people! We just don't realise it! xD

It seems that this is the case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachne 😁 😁

Because you surf the WEB :3

Curoius enough the Zenith has Arachne as part of its FCC ID.

Better try DOSLynx or maybe Arachne.

I did manage to get an early version Mosaic connected using winpkt.com and Trumpnet Winsock 1.1 but the results were less than stella, which is to be expected I guess.

Netscape 4.08 will sort-of-run in standard mode so it might be worth a try:

Thank you for the reference. Certainly worth a crack just for the sake of it. I suspect I'll have to install it on my 486 first then transfer it across if the installer borks.

Arachne doesnt support 287 in current release 🙁

What would even be the point of trying to get online with a 286? You might not have to worry about malware, but you won't be able to see very much either.

Whats the point of running old technology, Fun.
