My FAQ is for Windows network programmers. Surely they are in the top
1% of the current Internet population?
Anyway, my FAQ works with Lynx. You don't even need PPP access for
that, just a shell account somewhere on a machine that can run Lynx.
That rules out who? The remaining 500 people stuck behind a UUCP

I've maintained this FAQ now for about two and a half years. Not a
single request has come in asking for the FAQ in some pure-text form.
