Claris Emailer 2.0v4 (if you can locate a copy) -- possibly the best email
app ever created.

Icab 2.9.1 (http://www.icab.de) -- great, modern, lean browser with support
for 68k boxes.

The main consideration as to how well the machine will function is how much
RAM is in it. I've found that you can surf with  iCab without pulling all
your hair out on a machine that has >16MB RAM in the 68k models, but the
more the better.
