My 2 cents worth on the webtv aspect.

I've been accessing the Mudcat via webtv for over 2 1/2 years now. When this discussion came up I decided to test some of it's capabilities. I brought up the "Killing the Thread" thread and found I was able access about 390 posts. I can't remember what the total was on it but I think somewhere around 500.

msn has recently added a utilities program for webtv users so I checked on my connection speed and it shows as 26,400 bps(compressed). I have a dial-up connection at 128k.

I don't know what greg is using in the UK, but it does seem to be rather limited based on my terminals performance.

I have found that today I haven't been able to access the Mudcat through my regular bookmarks. I am posting this by using the IP provided by Max. part of the utility program was the capability to reset or clear my cookie cache. I tried it on one of my other user accounts and may have inadvertantly cleared everything.

Will check it out and be back.
