Can anyone explain to me what I need to access this net
from home using an AT clone? I am using DOS 4.01 (no UNIX
yet, do I need it?), Windows 3.0, can use kermit or xmodem,
2400 baud modem.

This may seem easy for most of you but I have no idea
what I need to install or do. What I would like to do
with this access is:
	read a few newsgroups
	posting & saving files would be nice but is no must
	ftp capabilities (to download files from other sites)

Anybody?

Thanks!
