I find it hard to believe that anyone wouldn't know about Marinetti at
this point but I've been using TCP/IP on my IIgs since 1 am on the 1st
of January, 1998.  Marinetti v1.0 was released at KFest '97.
Marinetti is now at v2.0.1 and is available at:

   http://www.apple2.org/marinetti

There are currently a number of TCP/IP aware programs available.
Listed in no particular order, they are:

PROGRAM NAME:  Spectrum v2.2
DESCRIPTION :  Dialup and telnet communications program with an
               incredibly powerful scripting language that can be used
               to expand this programs abilities endlessly.

               styles and colours as well as a couple custom tags for
               speech and sound.  Requires a shell account for use but
               there is an alpha library available to use a straight
               TCP/IP connection.

E-mail clinets are still in the works and I'm going to finish mine if
for no other reason than to prove to myself that I can actually finish
a project.  :-)
