Well, here is what I use at home (and at work from next week when we buy yet another
Amiga, this time as a LAN / Internet access machine).

Base software - AmiTCP

Mail / News - ADMaN = registered (10 pounds) version of ADMail.
                      Very easy to use, configurable, flexible,
                      memory / resource efficient system, whos
                      author is easy to contact.

IRC - GrapeVine   Again, very easy to use, flexible, powerful, configurable, stable.

FTP - FTPMount  - allows you to treat FTP sites as if they were part of
                  the file system on your Amiga (e.g. from DOPUS etc,
                  or via CLI - "copy FTP:ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/amiga/file T:file")

WWW - Alynx   text-only but very fast and STABLE and resource efficient.
      AWeb    unofficial release - very good so far.


I have no trouble with using these programs, and have done for about a year
so far.  Oh yes, and they are all relativly small and do not gobble up
memory and processor just to render a pretty but useless window...

Hope this helps,

TTFN,
Keith.
