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.
