- -- There is only one place to get Amosaic or Ibrowse. They are
- www.omnipresence.com. As for Telnet I use Amitcp-telnet and telnetd2.0 for
- the server. Also I personally recommend Control Panel 5 and Amiconnect for
- setting up and running Amitcp. I like AirMail2.1 for Mail. All of these
- are available from Aminet. BTW Ibrowse is currently only in the alpha to
- sub-beta stage at this point, but is far superior to Amosaic 2.0. A2.0 is
- just a little more full featured and reliable. You can email me if you need
- more info.
