I use Amosaic myself because it's the most stable. I may lose my connection
sometimes  but my hard drive has never been trashed. I run Ibrowse on a
seperate 25 mg partition and I've had to reformat that partition twice. To
tell you the truth, because of the bad experiences with Ibrowse, i haven't
even tried Aweb.
