Mosaic available at
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/RPMS/Mosaic-2.7b3-1.axp...
Both Grail and Mosaic work well, but are not quite as advanced as
Netscape. With Mosaic, tables don't seem to work, and the whole
page needs to downloaded before you see anything. My only complaint
with Grail is the speed, it's too slow...

With the help of Andreas Johansson (ajo@wopr.campus.luth.se) and this
list I was able to get my Megahertz 28.8 PCMCIA modem working with my
UDB. Using the mail list archives at www.redhat.com, take a look at
http://www.redhat.com/support/mailing-lists/archives/axp-list/1996-Dec
ember/0602.html and apply the patch you find. I was only able to get
the pcmcia-cs-2.8.X package to compile, not the 2.9.x.
You may also have to change the Configure script which wants to use
/sbin/ksyms. I don't have this on my UDB for some reason, so change
this to cat /proc/ksyms. (This is only a problem if you choose to
have the Configure script look at the running kernel.)
The last thing I had to do, once all compiled and installed, is change
to the modules directory and execute "strip -x <modulename.o>".
Without this, I was getting file size errors with insmod.
