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.  [Note: This is I-Net 225, single-user version.

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.
