My Story - The Internet Suite.
I first braught Termite Internet Suite from Doggysoft @98.94 UKP
and was not thrilled with it. The Mail software kept on loosing
my mail and there was a lot of BBS links on it which I did not
need. I then got a copy of the Ant Suite which I am currently using
an I haven't found any problems with it. The only differance that
I was anoyed about was that termite had a history list and the Ant
Suite didnot for the web browser.
I have spoken to people connected to and and got a text
copy of the upgrades in version 2 and History list is on it so when
I get release 2 which should be in a couple of days, I will be very
happy. The Termite suite came with a 328 page manual where as the
Ant suite has an 80 page manual. and I found it slightly easier to
use. One of the mail advantages is that the Ant suite's mail software
component can easily send files MIME encoded so its just like transfiring
information on a floppy disc. I think the ant suite is 99.00 UKP excluding
VAT.
