I've met a family who would like to get on the
Internet to mainly do email
- but all they have is an Apple 2 GS. Other than a shell account (these
folks seem to be "stick in disk, run command written on disk, scratch
head...) is there, say, a pop3 email client and IP stack software available
for that beast?
There is a SLIP stack, and mailing soft, but since this has
never been greatly incooperated into the OS, everythin has
to go togeter. Try a search for marinetti - thats a telnet
with his own stack (can also be used with som other packages).
But I think, if you could give them a unix account with
Lynx and Pine and a way to download anything should go
well - maybe using marinetti. There is also, a suit with
several apps in development, I don't remember the name,
but I guess if its graphical it needs transwarp or some
other speed up.
