I am looking for a news reader fro the Mac. I am aware of the various apps/stacks that require MacTCP, but I don't have MacTCP. However, I do have access to the Internet. Our LAN carries several Macs through a Kinetics AppleTalk/Ethernet gateway. Unless I'm missing something this should be enough for a news reader to do its job. Please note that my Mac DOES NOT have Ethernet hardware, but it does have an IP number. If you know of any software that fits the bill please respond via e-mail. Thanks in advance. * Len Charest, Jr. charest@ai-cyclops.jpl.nasa.gov JPL Artificial Intelligence Group *

There is only one product that does not require MacTCP, and that's TCP/Connect II. This package comes with a MacTCP version (MacTCP included) and a non-MacTCP version. There are PD programs that require MacTCP. Although, if you don't feel like paying the 100-150 for MacTCP, then you probably do not want to purchase a commercial package to do what you want... Hope this helps. -- Kurt Baumann InterCon Systems Corporation 703.709.9890 Creators of fine TCP/IP products 703.709.9896 FAX for the Macintosh.

I'm in exactly the same situation (almost). :) Thanks =============================================================================== Ken Sheppardson Email: kcs@sso.larc.nasa.gov Space Station Freedom Advanced Programs Office Phone: (804) 864-7544 NASA Langley Research Center FAX: (804) 864-1975 ===============================================================================
