Yeah, I know it would be "Better" to use a real modem, but cost is an issue here. I got the P166 for free, and paid $4 for winmodem. So I have four bucks in this thing so far.
Based on past experience with Windows 95 and a P166, using a winmodem is pushing it, but not too far. I used Windows 95 an a P166 for years with a winmodem, and the only time the modem would get flaky and drop the connection was when I tried to be online and print, or do something really CPU intensive while being online.
Since I won't be providing a printer when I give this away, and since it's only use will be web browsing and word processing, I don't think its going to be a problem --unless Damn Small is really piggy with the CPU compared with Windows 95. A possibility, I guess, but it didn't seem so when I was playing around with it.
