-
- Well, here is what I use at home (and at work from next week when we buy yet another
- Amiga, this time as a LAN / Internet access machine).
-
- Base software - AmiTCP
-
- Mail / News - ADMaN = registered (10 pounds) version of ADMail.
- Very easy to use, configurable, flexible,
- memory / resource efficient system, whos
- author is easy to contact.
-
- IRC - GrapeVine Again, very easy to use, flexible, powerful, configurable, stable.
-
- FTP - FTPMount - allows you to treat FTP sites as if they were part of
- the file system on your Amiga (e.g. from DOPUS etc,
- or via CLI - "copy FTP:ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/amiga/file T:file")
-
- WWW - Alynx text-only but very fast and STABLE and resource efficient.
- AWeb unofficial release - very good so far.
-
-
- I have no trouble with using these programs, and have done for about a year
- so far. Oh yes, and they are all relativly small and do not gobble up
- memory and processor just to render a pretty but useless window...
-
- Hope this helps,
-
- TTFN,
- Keith.
