O Light of Progsoc, I have two questions with which to plumb your bowels:

|A quick question about a Boca 14.4 (M144AI) internal modem I just
|purchased. Despite switching IRQs and the like it will not work in
|DOS with any communications programs like Telix, Procomm, etc. It
|does work in Windows with every program I've tried. The manufacturer
|tells me that the modem will only work in windows. Is this true?
|Sounds kind of strange to me and most other people I've queried.

Heard of this?

|I'm looking for a good Windows e-mail package (shareware or commercial).
|I'm particularily interested in a program that has mail filtering
|capabilities. I've tried Eudora but found it was generally useless:
|i.e. no address book, no filtering, attaching files a nightmare and
|the interface was ugly and difficult to read. Any suggestions?

I don't surf through Windows. Do you? What's best?
