Personally, I'd like to see a CompuServe front-end (BSDCIM?) for FreeBSD. IMHO, CompuServe is the one service provider which still has CONTENT rather than just positioning themselves as a "gateway to the Internet." Interestingly, both AOL and CompuServe are fully accessible through TCP/IP so you can access them both through your existing Internet provider (again, this makes AOL a bit redundant, eh?) But it's not important, since the only reason I rejoined CompuServe was for the WinNT 4.0 beta forum, and so I end up accessing it from Windows NT.. Oddly enough, Microsoft continues to support their products best on CompuServe, not MSN.. :-) ---Jake
