This is o.k. but I'd rather move away from aout, is there another browser worth considering ? also on www - I am having trouble with wwwoffle http://localhost:8080/ fails ! any sugestions welcome or any other choice of caching and fetching, I have webcopy installed but have not experimented much. secondly mail - I have tkrat, sendmail, procmail and fetchmail. on connection ppp-linkup runs fetchmail and for that matter wwwoffle - online. sendmail calls procmail as the local mailer, but sometimes my mail gets downloaded to oblivion, not just on or two messages but all of it - pain in the butt !. Also my messages very often appear twice though I presume this may be a pop / stmp problem - not worried about this for the moment. However sometimes my mail fails to be delivered though I may have fixed this as I was having my mail deferred but this I have changed. thirdly news - here is a complete void with me so is it best for me to use a specific news reader or have it bought in and read with my mail reader - I think I would prefer this.
