Hi,
If you want to use OmniWeb via modem you must have something like PPP or SLIP
configured and running on your NeXT system. Once such a connection is
established then OmniWeb will just work, as if it was directly connected to
Internet but of course a little slower depending on your modem speed. One
alternative to SLIP, PPP is to dial into a computer running Internet Adaptor -

Hope this helps,
