The DIS suite (Demon Internet Services), based on KA9Q. Not supported by
Demon for many years, but there is a small but expert group of people
who use it and improve it all the time: demon.ip.support.pc (you will
get flamed if you post anything Windows-oriented). I don't know whether
it's freeware, abandonware, or what. It's quite messy to set up and use,
particularly if you don't have a Demon account. I have long had a setup
which lets me handle mail and news, though I rarely use it. 100% virus-
proof (unless you save and open files). I don't know if it has been
adapted to use an ADSL connection, but would expect so.

I expect you'd get a friendly reception in dispc if you ask.

HTH,
