Well thanks you've just saved me some money, like a fool I thought
that the problems I have had with OASIS2 were because it was
unregistered, eg. bombing out after getting 5 emails. I want MIME
support etc, but only if it works or at least supported. Also when
is the promised SPIDER coming ??? Still I do not think we need OASIS2
now with clients being developed for STiK, and as I have just ordered
CAB2.0 who needs SPIDER anyway !!

As I said a long while ago they have bitten off more than they can
chew. Prove me wrong as well !!

The combination of CAB/STiK and Newsie is pretty good now.

I and nearly everybody else using Oasis2 with Zetnet had no joy whatsoever.
There was a lot of bad feeling toward Phil and Dave from those that had
registered the program and got little or no support. In the end after quite
a bit of pressure I finally got a refund from Phil.
It's a shame really because I liked Oasis, but it just wouldn't work
reliably, if at all, with Zetnet. Thankfully Newsie and STik do :-)
