The software is a shareware called TIA, The Internet Adapter. It is a
"slip-emulator" and allows you to create a pseudo-slip connection via a
dial-up account. I now run Mosaic Netscape, Newswatcher, Eudora (a great
mail program) from my dial in, 14.4 modem, and it works fine for me. You
still need the TCP/IP software, it is very hard to conifgure, and involves
setting up a program that runs on your directory at your Internet provider,
but with the help of someone knowledgeable about computers it can be done.
