> NCFTP - This one won't work right.  Is it trying to log into the ftp

> DIP - I've been logging manually and running slattach and portmap and such

> 	that is dynamically assigned to me with the DIP script language?
> 	MiNT Net mentions "ifconfig lo0 addr 127.0.0.1 up" command ..
> 	What address should this be, and what does this do?  Should I

> MAIL - What do I need, and where do I get it?  Plain and simple.  I want

> 	and to have new mail retrieved.  I'd also want a cron job that will
> 	log in and make a connection for me at least once (maybe twice)
> 	a day just to get mail flowing.  I want elm as the reader - where
> 	do I get it and what sort of mail transfer thing do I need?
> 
> News - TRN will work for a news reader - where do I get it.  And what transfers
> 	the news?  I only want a few newsgroups.  Otherwise, same problem
> 	as mail.  I might try Okami Newsreader for mail and such, but I
> 	won't run GEM just for one or two apps, but if its already running,
