I remember seeing that in stores a long time ago, but I never used it.
Spry just bundled all the common clients like telnet, irc, netscape browser, eudora, ftp, gopher, and called it Interent in a Box. The internet has come a long way since then. I'm sure glad the BBS is still alive. I haven't used those clients in years.
It's been quite a while since I used some of those. I used to use mIRC a lot for IRC and eventually paid for a mIRC registration since I used it so much. I haven't used it in a long time though..

I still use (a registered install) of mIRC everyday. Are you using a different IRC client for Windows instead?

No, I just rarely use IRC at all these anymore these days.

Understood, but it's pretty easy to just leave a client idling in
the channel, and when you think of it, or have some free time, you
go back and catch up with what's been said in there since you were
last there. Pretty painless and done on your schedule. :)

Eudora has a place in my heart; I was working in a Mac shop back in the 1990s, and we used a program called QuickMail, a LAN-based email system with gateways for external connections to Compuserve and the internet.
I think we ended up having 4 or 5 machines crashing constantly for 120 people.
We bought Eudora licenses, I installed BSD/OS on a spare desktop, and
we moved all of the mail over to the new server over the weekend. When there'd be an all-company email, you'd hear that Eudora mail sound all over the office.
I could push out a text-based company address book to a server and copy
it down to the clients, and it just worked. Fun times.

Eudora was a classic in its day. It's a pity that Eudora didn't survive to the present day. The so-called "open source edition" never lived up to its romise.

Thunderbird was able to import Eudora mail, which helped. I don't remember what made Eudora special in its day.

Well for me, when I was doing a search for a random contact, I was initiating that, so it wasn't unwanted for me. :P But I like being
able to talk to people around the world, so I didn't mind getting
random messages from people who were curious to talk to me. I've
actually met some good friends that way. I think MSN Messenger had a similar feature, because years ago I got a random message on MSN
Messenger from someone in Brazil wanting to practice his English with a native speaker. From there, I ended up visiting Brazil a few times,
and I met him in person, and I still talk to him; I also met some other people in Brazil I still keep in touch with sometimes on Facebook. It seems similar to how we're all messaging back and forth on Dove-Net and the various other message networks, with people we otherwise wouldn't
have known.

Yes, webmail is convenient that way, but I only use it when I need to access specific emails in a hurry. For any serious reading, I still much prefer a dedicated MUA, and using IMAP, I can have email setup on multiple devices nowadays.
I tried using the Ping utility and was able to ping localhost, but wasn't able to ping google.com. It seemed the DNS wasn't working.
In the 90s, I used to use Trumpet Winsock in Windows 3.1 for dialup internet. I found a way to use Trumpet Winsock with a sort of ISP emulator using some Linux tools (which I could use, since I have a Linux machine on my network), but I think direct networking might be a better solution.

I'm almost the opposite, I use a pinned chrome app for gmail in

I find web interfaces often have clunky navigation.
The fact that NNTP keeps its lastread pointers on the client side is a deal breaker for me for BBS messaging. That means it's hard to coordinate my reading across multiple devices. I find offline mail to be the best interface
for my message reading. :)

I've been wanting to make a standalone and web reader that will keep
their pointers synced so that the BBS has them if you use the web on
teh bbs... the "native" would be a standalone wrapper of the web reader with additional features such as integrating multiple BBSes for web/mail/telnet and a BBS list with staring and aggregations.

Pointweb is much better than the fixed-size constrained container that ftelnet provides.
In a pointweb session, you can resize the "dos" box that GoldEd+ uses
and change the font with the Right-click, Properties. With the sizes adjusted, you can have more than the limited 20 lines of text at a time and more than just the 80 char width. GoldEd+ provides a much nicer real-time reading experience. It is ideal for people interested in messaging, primarily. For now, the Pointweb solution is intended for echomail users. But there is probably no reason why additional features can't be added with additional "menus".
