I think you missed my point, and maybe I didn't completely explain
myself.  What I meant to say was that connecting to an ISP using a means
which we no longer support, via an OS and windowing environment we no
longer support, and then getting pissy at us because he doesn't want to
use TCP/IP is kinda silly.  I have old equipment as well.  Yes, I'm
annoyed at all the new-fangled "let's make it easy for everyone" tools. 
But, I have no problem with people using Lynx.  I use Lynx.  But, I
don't dial up to my ISP with a DOS machine, log in through Telix, into a
shell machine where I cruise around with Lynx and complain that TCP/IP
sucks.
