Since we have so many Alpha Phi Omega homepages out there, I thought some
of you might find the following helpful. It works really good, although a
little slow. There are some stipulation listed below in system
requirements. It should allow many of you to access WWW from home who
couldn't before because of the SLIP/PPP constraint.
Take Care,
