Joe's suggestion for shift-booting before running SIS is a good one.
Especially if you don't have a correctly wired hardware handshaking
modem cable.

Another thing that might be messing things up is if the pages you are
trying to view are using frames.  SIS doesn't support frames so it
might produce some weird results when trying to view them.  SIS also
doesn't support tables properly which can result in some strange
looking pages.

Most of SIS's limitations are due to limitations of the TextEdit tool
set.  If this tool set were ever to be upgraded to support multiple
rulers and such, we might end up with some better web browsing and
text editting capabilities.  Just another project that has been on my
list of things to do for years.  Someday I'll get organized enough to
start getting these projects finished.  :)
