It works fine, but it's too slow for my use on even a 9500/132.
Granted, I see a Pentium 60  16/1G as low end these days, but I
digress.

This is true, but when you consider that of those 600 apps you'll
probably only really need about 50 of them, it isn't quite that bad.
Granted, though, that Win boxes have far better and more software
available.  One area I find Macs lacking is in TCP/IP tools.  :(
They're really nice, but the Win utils are better.

Back to the point, what Amiga tcp/ip GUI tools are out there?

It isn't cheap, but it's a really nice and elegant solution (the DOS
card) for running basic PC apps.  It runs W95 nicely, too.  

SWv2 works as well, if a bit slowly.
