--> I do most of my TXT-based interent cruising on my '386 DOS-BOX;
    but I do go online (TXT-only, of course) with my Apple IIe.

    Currently, it's an Apple IIe, with a Rocket Chip, 10meg Sider,
    Serial Pro, RAMWorks III (fully populated) with RGB piggyback,
    RAMFactor (also fully populated), mouse and an external Supra-
    Modem 2400; but I also use an external USRobotics Sportster
    28,800 Fax/Modem (it does double duty - switching between an
    Amiga 500 and the Apple IIe). On the IIe, I can't get better
    than 14.4. On the Amiga - I get 28.8 (so sez the software:
    ProTERM 3.1 and JRComm). Surfing around at 14.4 on the IIe is
    alright and I use it when I'm doing `Apple' type stuff - but
    for the rest of the time; I use the DOS-BOX - it's compatible
    with what I do/use at work and that's life. But I'll never give
    up my IIe - too much emotional (and $$!!) things tied up in it;
    I did all my exploring/learning on it. I _like_ my Apple IIe!
