	It is probably not legal.  If it is old then you should get
	a newer one.  If you upgrade the OS to "System 7.5" that
	includes MacTCP (much like Windows-95 includes TCP/IP but
	Windows 3.1 doesn't).

	When I was starting with IP on the Macintosh I bought a copy
	of the book "The Internet Starter Kit (Macintosh)".  You can
	get a copy at most large bookstores.  The price is under $30
	and the included diskette contains MacTCP and several useful 
	utilities.  

	Once you have Netscape running you will have access to all 
	the freeware/shareware in the world. I recommend the
	"Virtual Software Library" at http://vsl.cnet.com/
