By "connect using minicom" I assume you mean that you don't do ppp, but instead just do a terminal-based login. In that case, OF COURSE netscape won't connect - there's no way for it to connect. I assume that the lynx you're using isn't running on your machine, but instead on your ISP's machine. If so, there's no reason to expect that you'd be able to use netscape; you don't have any kind of TCP/IP connection to the net. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
