I've never heard of Telnetti but I have heard of the others.  While
updating my list below I found Telnetti on Aaron Pulver's web site and
downloaded it but haven't had a chance to try it or to update my list
with info about it.  If anyone else is looking for it, go to Aaron's
web site listed below for NetTime.

Although it is a little out of date now, you can check out Gareth
Jones web page about internet applications for the IIgs at:

    http://modena.intergate.ca/personal/gslj/gsinternet.html

(And yes, IN: The Mailbox is still in development.)

Here is a list that I posted to Delphi a couple years ago that I just
updated with a couple titles that weren't out then:

NOTE:  The "Available from" field about is only currently listing one
place that the software is available.  There are often more than one
place to get these programs.

If anyone has any corrections or additions to the above list, let me
know and I'll add them.  I'm also thinking of adding a "Notes" field
to put a little information about each program.  I also used to have a
version of this list that had any shareware fees listed in it but I
don't know what happened to it.  I'll have to add that back in again
too.

I have yet to finish my e-mail client called Internet Neighbourhood:
The Mailbox (aka IN: The Mailbox) which is supposed to be the first of
my internet applications for the IIgs.  I'm hoping to get a lot of
IIgs programming done before KFest this year so hopefully there will
be more internet applications by then.

However, the more people writing stuff for the Apple II the better, if
you ask me.  Getting a "crash-course" in IIgs programming also reminds
me that I've been neglecting my duties as the Dean of the Apple II
University on Syndicomm.com so I really should do something about that
soon too.
