What i like most in the moment is to use the trumpet software as the TCP/IP stack for DOS/windows and use eudora as a mail program and qvtnet as a news reader and for login/ftp connection. netscape is my choice as a WWW reader. I don't know if this works well with novell. We don't have another network. Only using DOS/WINDOWS on some PC's. I have also read pegasus is a nice email package under windows. Another option for the TCP/IP stack should also be PC/NFS from SUN or a TCP/IP stack for windows from Microsoft.
