Hy all,


Was wondering if anyone know of a finger daemon for winsock?

                                                                         J..

IBM's most recent release of TCP/IP for DOS Version
2.1.1 might be worth investigating for your needs.
It retails at $230 per license and has SLIP
support (including some scripting function).

Hi people,

Has anyone got any suggestions for an offline e-mail product for windows
(and maybe a newsreader , but thats less important) that uses
Trumpet winsock. Shareware preferred.

Thanks in advance.
