    My main computer has died (electrical problems), and I don't know
when I will have the money to get it fixed.  In the meantime, I
resurrected an old computer running MS-DOS 5.  It does have a modem and
comm package, so at least I am able to dial into my ISP Linux shell
account with a terminal emulator and read mail and news.  However, I
have no graphical web browser.

    This old machine (and I mean old) is an 80386sx machine with only
5MB of memory, some of which is used for a randisk.  Is there such a
thing as a graphical web browser that can run on such a crippled
machine?  If so, can it establish a PPP connection on its own, so to
speak?  Finally, the mouse port on this tired old box is dead, so I
would need something that can be controlled with cursor keys.

    Thanks very much.
