AmiTCP is the one to go for. Release 3 is currently in beta but the
previous version (2.2 I think) is freely available on Aminet.
This comes with the necessary drivers to set up a SLIP connection to your
service provider, telnet & ftp clients are included.
For a newsreader try the latest version of GRn (2.1) which can read news
from a news server using nntp.
For a mailer try the latest release of ELM for the Amiga. This looks and
feels identical to the UNIX version but it is I beleive the best Amiga
mailer available. There are two Intuition based ones called AVM & AM but
I'm not sure if they can handle smtp. ELM can run over smtp.
Finally grab the InetUtils package from Mike B Smith which provides NNTP
(for news transport) and SMTP (for mail transport).
Mosaic (WWW) has been ported to the Amiga but version 3 Workbench is
required, a 2.0 port is rumoured though.
Have fun 🙂
