IMHO, a perfect DOS internet suite should be an *integrated* software
which:
* Operating in text mode both for eficiency and text reader/synth
compability; will also effectively windows-compatible.
* Has multisession/multitasking capability (KA9Q flavors are good
candidate), this will saves your phone bill a lot in some countries.
* Can connect to the internet with either ISDN, ADSL, DSL, LAN, or
just the plain old modem.
* Has no memory constrain (just like Win9x EDIT.COM ;-)
* Has excellent and fast HTML rendering engine (Bobcat is a
good candidate).
* Has excellent e-mail/news support (perhaps just like Nettamer? ;-)
* Has RESUME/mirrror search support for it's FTP function
* Has easy to use point 'n click user interface (like DOSLynx/T-Vision).
* Has socks, SSL, HTTP 1.1, and Javascript support.
* Has built-in Telnet, IRC, and ICQ functions.
* Has <.... insert your own prefs here ....>
* And best of all, it should be free for personal and non-commercial
use; preferably ad-funded (like Mirabilis ICQ or Free-PC), not a
nagware.
Sounds impossible? Oh well, I might be daydreaming... <BG>
