- Assuming you have a SANA-II driver for your PCMCIA networking card, you'll
- need:
-
- AmiTCP to provide your internet connection. You need to provide it with a
- fair few options about your networking setup.

-
- AmiTCP comes with a text-based FTP program, but there are more comfortable
- GUI-based ones around such as AmiFTP, AmFTP etc.
-
- : - for realtime chattinh?
-
- Gravevine or AmIRC
-
- : - for mailing
-
- Many options, including PINE, Voodoo, AirMail and others.
-
- There is also THOR, which is an offline integrated News / Mail reader, but it
- might not be ideal, since you would be using a permanent connection.
-
- For online Usenet news, two programs I would recommend are TIN and GRn (I
- prefer TIN myself, even though it is text- rather than GUI-based). PINE
- handles news as well, I believe.
-
- For news and mail you'll also need delivery agents. For this you can use
- INetUtils. If your incoming mail is accessed via a POP3 server, you will need
- AmiPOP as well.
-
- All of these programs can be found on Aminet.
