suite and modem, at an approximate price of USD 190 (excluding VAT). A
package call "Surfware" is also being planned which will provide the
Internet software alone.

get 100 hours free connection.
About the Internet Software:
- MUI3.2: Magic User Interface is an Amiga-OS extension that makes
dedicated applications more ergonomic with a friendlier user interface.
With MUI, the user can also customise and configure their applications
individually.
- AS 225 R2: A new and completely reworked version of the original AMIGA
TCP/IP software is provided. This software handles the connection
between the Amiga and the network.
- Mindwalker: The WWW Browser with MUI-support: A full featured graphical
World Wide Web Browser that can handle forms, bookmarks, search
functions, hotlinks and many more.
- AMIRC: The IRC Client with elegant MUI interface, gives access to the
"Internet Relay Chat", where one can participate on-line and in
real-time to discussion forums. Several thousands of users meet here
daily to discuss various topics. Binary files can also be sent among
users using AMIRC.
- AMFTP: The FTP Client also uses the MUI-extension. The graphical
interface of AMFTP makes the handling of files and directories from
distant servers very effective and comfortable. The program works as a
file-manager and gives access to tremendous amounts of Amiga software
available on the Internet.
- Voodoo: The included E-mail manager is a fully new development and
supports the "Mime-standard" to send, receive and view graphics and
other binary files easily. UU-Encoded binary files are also supported.
The advanced user interface of Voodoo helps to handle electronic mail
quickly and easily.
The Surfer pack also includes the popular Amiga Magic Bundle's
productivity software of a wordprocessor, spreadsheet, database,
organiser and graphic tools.
