There is a neat little shareware mailreader/newsgroup reader/web browser called Net-Tamer that will do what you want quite nicely. The best part is that it is a complete package - you do not need a separate packet driver, dialer, etc. It is much easier than most DOS programs to install and get working properly. There are three versions. The XT version will run on a 286 (or earlier, even), the 386 version has some (limited) graphical web browsing capability, and there is even a version for palmtops. They even have a newsgroup and mailing list. You can download it at: http://neettamer.net It is shareware, price is about $35.00, however, the trial version is fully enabled except for some pauses. And it runs great under OpenDos! Hope this is helpful. -- Bob "Spiderman" Stickney Visit the San Diego 4 Wheelers Web Page: http://home.earthlink.net/~bobstickney/index.html
