You need to use an authentication capable fetcher for ArcWeb, which
currently means that you need to use ArcWebTCP, which means you need
either FreeNet or Acorn TCP/IP.  Some people appear to use KA9Q for
all their news & mail etc. and then switch to FreeNet for WWW, which
I think is a very good idea.
