I'm looking for an MSDOS or Windows application which will allow the reading and posting of NNTP News items. I'd like to know if a program exists which allows the user to download mail items from a remote server (over a standard modem rather than via Ethernet) and read, reply or post to the groups. I know about WinQVTNet and Snuz but both require a network connection. I'd like to find something that works like TapCIS or QuickMail/SLMR. Chanel

Problem of course is how does one go about getting a SLIP connection??? Does it work over a modem? How does SLIP work? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iskandar Taib | The only thing worse than Peach ala Internet: NTAIB@AQUA.UCS.INDIANA.EDU | Frog is Frog ala Peach Bitnet: NTAIB@IUBACS ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WinQVT/net *REQUIRES* the use of the Clarkson packet drivers. The packet drivers support SLIP (read the packet driver info for more details ... I do not use slip). -- leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr
