Can anyone who reads TECHWR-L at home recommend a good telecommunications
program with easy access to the Internet?
I'm an old hacker from way back, so I don't mind using a medieval version of
Procomm to connect to National Capital Freenet when I'm at home, but I have
friends who don't want to know how TCP/IP works. They don't ever want to
have to learn Unix or even Unix terminology.
Is there a program they can use? Has anyone on TECHWR-L ever used one?
