I looked into the suggestions but I think the biggest problem might be that
I would require Dial-Up support, and I'm not sure 'modern' Linux distros
support that. I primarily wanted to find browser and eMail support for
a computer currently running a sort of hybrid Win 98/ME system which
precludes using new eMail programs or Browsers that support HTTPS access.

I'm not sure how upgradable Linux distros tend to be without a full reinstall.
I did try a Puppy Linux version several years back which looked promising
(It's still on this machine but I think requires a Boot CD to run it) but
even then there was minimal Dial-up support.
