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
