- I just saw that NOTIS < wingopher@notis.com > is offering WinGopher Complete
- for $129 list availabel 3/31/94. Besides a gopher client, it's including a
- TCP/IP stack, windows compatable. When I called the (800)55-NOTIS, they
- indicated that you get GOPHER, a TCP/IP stack and Winsock.dll thru a PPP or
- SLIP connection. It sounds too good to be true. Every other commercial
- package is $400. Sure you don't get all the other apps but the shareware ones
- should work, right? Does anyone have two cents on this subject? I've been
- waiting for a reasonably priced Windows PPP connection for awhile. The ship
- (boat), (dingy) may have come in!

- That's ok. It does do dial-on-request, and clicking CONNECT isn't that big
- a hassle :-)
