Browser: perhaps K-Meleon http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/
e-mail: an old Eudora or Pegasus version from oldversions.com?

K-Meleon needs 32MB, from their site:

"Windows 95, 98, 98SE, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows
XP and Windows 2003 Server
32 MB RAM minimum
5 MB of free hard disk space for download. 11.0 MB of free hard disk space
for installation.
While a Pentium level processor is recommended, K-Meleon can run on a 486
system that meets the minimum RAM requirements. "

Too bad, nice browser.

For browser I recommend Opera 5.02 from www.oldversion.com

The laptop presently has IE 3- with no patches, wouldn't an older IE be
very risky to browse with?

Heres what I found out so far:
Netscape 3.04 is browser/mail/news, I'm already familiar with the
interface. But, the browser may have trouble with lots of modern
websites.

IE 3- I think it is risky, no patches, etc.

So no good solution for a browser yet.

WinVin may be a good newsreader for the 486.
Old Eudora or Pegasus for mail- have to find out about that.

It's a good reference to many browsers, but gives no direct data on
system requirements. I'd need to research eacn one. I'm hoping someone
has a recommendation.

at least a version 4x of Netscape should work. I was able to put 4.08 of NS
on a similiar laptop with win3x so the win95 version should be similiar.
