I don't use it, because I don't like the way it handles newsgroups, but I know a lot of people that do like it and use it regularly. Then there's the tcp/ip suite from waterlu (university of New York) that can be found at the buffalo NY ftp site (sorry, don't have it handy at the moment) There's the university of minisota's slip package (that will work with ppp if you use a different packet driver) Then there's ka9q. By far my favorite dos internet package. It can multitask up to 40 sessions, (both incoming and outgoing) but the problem is, there's so many different versions, you may have a rough time finding one you like. :) Of course you could always compile your own, since it comes with complete source. I used this package to run my internet connection for just over 2 months, while I obtained and configured my linux server. And, recently, there's another package to hit the market (showed up in February) that's called pppbbs. The last version I know of is 3.01. This package is written by the same folks that wrote virtual bbs, and it can handle both incoming and outgoing connections as well, though it's not exactly meant for an individual user, though it could certainly be used as such. If anyone would like some of these programs, and has difficulties finding them, let me know, and I'll see about digging up direct ftp/urls to them.
