After only using SCO Unix in host mode for many years, I just recently upgraded to Enterprise and began using TCP/IP to network with Windows PCs. Now I am wondering how best to access the internet from the Unix box.

Some facts:
1. The Unix box is connected to a router which is connected to a cable modem.
2. The Unix version is SCO OS 5.06
3. The NIC is 3Com

Questions:
1. Is netscape the best browser to use?
2. Can I purchase the latest Unix netscape somewhere?
3. Do I use PPP or TCP to make the connections?
4. Is there a step-by-step guide I can access?

Thanks for any help.
