Well, okay. If you're wanting network speed, I'd suggest a cable modem if you can float it, and upgrading to Netscape 4.7, OS 8.6 or 9. (well, not on the IIfx). Then you babble through cyberspace faster than a swollen little brook. But that would mean you would end up writing less. So never mind, I'd rather you use the time to write. Dunno what the NW computer at the college is doing for connectivity -- is it on a thinnet LAN feeding directly to a T1? Or what? I don't think it could be NS 3 itself bottlenecking you. Dunno for sure though.
