It seems that several people are working on providing good starters for freenet and/or TCPIP. I think it might be worthwile if these efforts were joined to provide a good working platform that can be used with both freenet and !TCPIP (as freenet is not yet sufficient for everything). I am aware of the following people doing useful things: - Colin Hogben <colin@nyphot.demon.co.uk> is developing a starter pack for non-demon users, but only for !TCPIP. He has asked for and received information on the login-procedures and telephone numbers for several providers. I provided him with the information for NLnet (in the Netherlands). This provider uses dynamic IP addresses and the beta version of his program worked correctly for me. - Richard Birkett <richard@musicbox.demon.co.uk> provided a !SlipDial script that allows use to connect to your provider and then switch between !TCPIP and Freenet, without dropping the line. It is for demon only, but it was not difficult to change the script to work with my provider. In view of the status of freenet at the moment, I think this script should be the basis for a good alround starter pack. - Now Phillip Temple is trying to do the same as Colin for Freenet. His starter pack for Freenet looks nice and would be even nicer if it also worked for none demon users. Can anyone see a way to combine these efforts? I would like to see a -- Joost Zalmstra
