Hi Netters, I'm looking to buy Coherent. I've tried Minix and am having so many problems to just get a mail/news feed going that I'm getting tired of it. Right now I'm looking for the 1-800 number to call and order Coherent...anyone?? Also, is there a good news reading program that comes with it or is accessibly through the network. I"m not asking for it to be sent to me right away, just what's available. Thanks for the help.... -- | Marc G.
