I'd like to know that, too, Andrew. However, meanwhile, here's what I've been doing with my A2500/30 : I use Term 3.4 (most any standard Amiga terminal software would work) and log onto a local commercial BBS that's a full-service Internet provider. These exist in a number of locales but depending on where you are your brother may have to pop for a long-distance phone call or at least TymeNet charges. Anyway, once I've logged onto the service via Term I am provided with text-based menus that let me do file transfers, read texts, send E-mail, run Gopher and Archie, etc. Now, I've got a copy of Amiga Mosaic, which looks fabulous and offers all sorts of bells and whistles, but I see no way of making use of it unless I'm directly attached to a local network that has the appropriate server. — RON LEGRO / Milwaukee via Autopilot 1.73 "Accept nothing less than a high standard of standardness."
