Please see: > http://www.rawbw.com/~rem/NewPub/mySituation.html How does your shell access work? Is it a real VT terminal, or emulation on another machine? Is it over phone line, so you have to pay per time? In that case you could indeed grab a modem somewhere and use the "shell account" on your Redhat machine. Most ISPs allow uploading PHP, CGI stuff, too, even for cheap mini-accounts, so you wouldn't need full shell access there. >> Your computer can run a graphical browser. > > If you mean my Linux laptop, yes, but only with local files I make > myself or what comes with the system, without any modem to have access > to anything new online.
