mmm , can I just add to make you feel slightly better that the pc nos is
similarly blessed in these respects :-/

If you feel adventurous the mintnet is an excellent system for an ST (except
for best results I think 4meg is needed.   

However if you want a decent flexible and fully working access to the net and
if you want to stick with atari then upgrading to a Falcon or TT and running
Linux (or maybe netbsd) is the only way to go unless someone makes smtp and nntp
apps for STiK or something dramatic happens with Oasis in the working 
department.
