[DM-MUG] Networking and web access

[jim Lagnese]

Actually, caching was in regards to Mac OS 8 or 9. I never used Safari with
Dialup, so I can't verify that. One comment though, most routers don't
support dialup. The Airport base station is the only one I know about that
does. I agree though, it's a good investment. I bought mine at CompUSA for
30 bucks after rebate and it came with wireless.
