What's the best newsreader that is OS2 compatible?
Email app? IRC? FTP? etc.
Many older versions on aminet that may have been
OS2 friendly seem to be replaced as newer versions
are released.
I did finally track down AMosaic.
Anyone have an older version of AHI that still
supports 68000? The A500 has ECS, extra FAST
RAM and a SupraTurbo28. So, it has a little
more pep than your average 68000 A500. Newer
AHI versions require an 020 or better.
Thanks,

Jason i don't have any opinions on these apps but I would
suggest you check out the stuff in appropriate Amiga newsgroups
on google. We had a lot more posters when these things were
happening. I didn't try the 'net except thru BBSes until after
I had installed OS 3.1. It took me a long time until the local
fido net boards had collapsed before I went to the internet with
Miami 3, Voyager 2.1, and YAM. Now I use with OS 3.9, Miami 3.2b,
YAM 2.4p1 [060] and NewsCoaster V 1.56 all of which of course
require MUI 3.8 and AWeb-II 3.4 which requires the ClassAct gadget kit
(included in the distribution). The latest ClassAct archive is always
available from: ftp://ftp.thule.no/pub/classact/.
All of these had archives on Aminet but it is hard to get them
any longer and harder still to register the ones that won't save
settings or work without key codes. Some of the more old fashioned
versions of TCP-IP converted from Unix programs for the Amiga have
to be manually configured and every time I read the directions for
editing the text files I got confused. Of course I was ill and this
confusion was/is one of the symptoms of my illness. Well people
conversant with the configuration of Unix stacks thru editing of
text files should have no trouble.
You might have to get second hand registered copies and see someone
else's name on the registration to get fully working copies but that
is hard to do. Even though I have a Windows© machine sitting at my left
hand I still am sticking with the old A2000 for my e-mail and newsgroup
reading and writing, After all it still works faster than I can type.
