The online side of the package is the command line PC Ka9q equivilent 
called Nos and should be version 0.42 (obtained from the initial text 
when it is launched).

The offline side is either the text based Snews (never used it) or 
the Gem based Oasis which is downloaded containing Nos.

I can't really advise any further without knowing some more about the 
machine. Does it have 1Mb ram or more? Single, twin floppies? Hard 
disk?
