I'm very interested. I've you've read any of my other posts, you'll
have noticed that I'm looking for a good browser under Plan 9.
Unfortunately, I can't access the public source tree, as I can't dial
out (for now). (Any latest development on the Lucent WinModem
drivers?) Anyway, would you be so kind as to e-mail me a copy of the
sources? Thanks much!
Ben
