Something like that, it has 4, 96, AmiTCP and DIS in the name.

Well the only[1] newer one is Miami as the stack and then add in your 
own mail prog. Miami is AFAIK still shareware, and I suspect getting a 
key may be troublesome, so you may well be better off with the same 
installer you used before and then rubbing the rough edges off it.

I think it may not need much tweaking to get it going, but having not 
used dialup with it for a long time, I'm not sure. At the very least it 
will need a phone no tweak.

Actually, I'm thinking I may have gone off at a tangent here, have you 
got dialup working again somehow?

[1] There's a stack in OS3.5 (?) definitely 3.9, but I'm assuming 3.1 
and free ;-)

For free?

If you don't want to shell out I think you could do worse than use the
AmiTCP installer still on Demon's FTP, unless you are only talking about
e-mail?

I think I'm right in saying that AmiTCP is still much faster on somethings
(PCMCIA networking?) than Miami. Genesis comes with OS3.9 and that works
here very nicely, but I was using AmiTCP very successfully for years,
thanks to this group and its community.

If you are after a full TCP stack, as I believe they're called  :)  the
Demon installers are somewhere like

ftp.demon.co.uk   pub/amiga/tcp/installer

and I think you want the '96 and update archives. I think the latest one
was done by Tez and was more applicable to people who really wanted to
tweak things.

That maybe a fairly hazy recollection though. Might be worth looking at
old posts with AmiTCP in the subject.
