The laptop I was using works online with a modem using BL2 but Puppy finds 
it on the wrong serial port so won't go online.  I had to use XP, where 
Opera 10.10 crashes at the Google signup page, but Seamonkey 2 does work.
Opera 10 had problems in BL even with all the dependencies.

I would love to be able to add enough libraries to BL2 to run Seamonkey 2.


Google Voice won't let you sign up via dialup because they insist on 
verifying your phone by phoning it while you are trying to sign up.
I was hoping to get one local number that would ring phones at two 
addresses (landlines).
