Hmm yes...  I found I was 4MB short <g> when I looked at the
following demo from QNX:

FROM: <http://www.qnx.com/products/iat.html>
    QNX Products - Internet Appliance Toolkit (IAT)

" Take the 1.44M Web Challenge!
Want proof that the IAT will let you build the Internet into just
about anything? Try the IAT demo today. It fits everything you need to
surf the web onto a single, self-booting 1.44M floppy: "

FROM: <http://www.qnx.com/iat/modem/index.html>
    IAT Demo Disk - Create a demo (Modem Version 3)

" To run the demo, your PC needs only the following:
Processor 386 or better
Video Color VGA or better
Memory 8M or more
Modem Plug-and-Play, PCMCIA, or connected to COM1, 2, 3, or 4
MouseSerial, bus, or PS/2
Hard disk, Not needed ;-) "

.... pretty amazing. Anyone here tried it?

All the best,
Bjorn

I tried, it's amazing.
