Unfortunately, the trouble seems to be that most of the Internet
suites have their own specialised bit.

Eg. If I could choose my favourite set up, it would be something like
:-

Email       ... Marcel (ANT)

News        ... NewsAgent (Voyager)

WWW         ... Fresco (ANT)

FTP         ... FTP (ANT)

Hmmm, it seems actually that ANT is the best all round suite. I just
wish Marcel was up to the standard of Voyager's NewsAgent -
especially that way it displays threads.

Nevermind,
