[Color Computer] Re:[coco] www on coco

I had this happen with a Linux machine (40MHz '386DX).  It wouldn't stay connected (PPP) to the ISP for very long but just dialing into a shell worked okay.  Once I moved to a faster machine the problem went away.

seriously doubt the CoCo could respond to simple keepalive packets fast 
enough to convince the ISP that there's actually something working on 
the other end.
