- Just a side note, you will most likely find more Mac related comm information
- in the "comp.sys.mac.comm" news group.
-
- If you have the ability to use MacTCP in conjunction with FreePPP to connect
- to an Internet Service Provider, then you will want to look at NCSA Telnet, and
- YA-NewsWatcher for reading news groups, and Netscape for surfing the web,
- Fetch for FTP transfers or Anarchie and FTPd to allow your Mac to be an FTP
- server. You can get all of the above from various Mac related FTP archives or
- by asking for pointers in the "comp.sys.mac.comm" news group.
