Getting online with System 7.5.3

[indigo_k]

So yesterday after days of trial-and-error I FINALLY Got my MacSE online using a PiSCSI! Now I'm a bit at a loss for what kind of Internet I can experience with this machine. It's maxxed out at 4MB of RAM and System 7.5.3. So far I've got an IRC client working, but am hesitant to start using this for email considering the number of large attachments I deal with for my work. I'd love to be able to use it as a News/RSS reader, but I don't know if that's feasible considering how old all the software is. At any rate, I'm looking for suggestions and tips on how to maximize performance of this old guy so I can get the most out of it.

I don't know of ProtoWeb and WarpStream work on system 7. View the video from this post.

I made a list of a few resources you can checkout after you get your retro mac online - http://retro.bluescsi.com/ (site even works on a retro machine)

I do think it'd be cool to get eudora working again (was the first email program I used) with Anarchie (for getting files via email attachments) - that was my first use of the internet.

Oh this is a great resource! I've already spent a couple hours this morning poking around here and the sites it links to, and now I am determined to put up at least an alternate version of my website that will work on classic OS. Gotta dust off my HTML 3.2 skills!
