Many thanks for the deb, which installs perfectly. Now I can use the Tablet to read some more wap sites. No luck with http://wap.ratp.fr though, even though it works on PC when Firefox has wmlbrowser enabled. Is that a difference between v.20 on Firefox and v.18 on MicroB, or is there something else going on?

ratp.fr shows the usefulness of mobile sites. http://www.ratp.fr suffers from the bloat that Fragos deplores in http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...5&postcount=25 . I can get info about public transport in Paris from the wap site via EDGE to phone in about half the time it takes from the www via DSL to PC. It would be even faster and smoother via EDGE and BT to Tablet if I could get it.

(These sites can save a traveller to Paris from a lot of misery. When they have one of their transport strikes, there are always some lines left running. The web and wap sites give accurate info about the remaining service, and you can find a route to somewhere near where you want to go. Wap is preferable for speed and to avoid high costs of mobile roaming. This is a bit different from the Youtube addiction which seems to dominate the forums here.)
