Thanks for the suggestions re:Nethopper.
I decided to give the latest version another shot; after enabling images and
the fit-to-size option, I'm actually pretty pleased with the way pages
render.
Guess my experience with package install from the web was based primarily on
UNNA, as well as my personal page at http://thedarkbackward.batcave.net
(which is with a free provider, so there is no way I'll be altering MIME
types on the server). They work with NewtScape...
Anywhooo...
Thanks for the feedback...

uh...I use nethopper exclusivly to load packages onto
my Newt. I don't ever, ever connect my Newt to a
desktop (unless you count the 3 times I backed it up
to send it into repair or the 3-4 times I tested it
with Basilisk) What I do is pop a PKG onto my website
(see sig line below) then browse my page and load the
package there. Every package you see there has found
it's way onto my Newt (and others) from NetHopper. Add
to that the books I have and other hidden pages (nope,
nothing you'ld be interested in) I've perhaps loaded
several hundred packages onto my Newt using NetHopper
(v3.2 I believe) The only time I've ever had a problem
is when I un-binhexed a pkg created on a Mac...all
those extra bits makes an unhappy newt...
But, don't take my word for it. Browse my site and see
for your self!
