Brief description
-----------------

NetGate is a gateway utility which allows you to use your Fidonet
newsreader to read Internet e-mail and UseNet news. It runs on top of
AmiTCP or Miami and transfers mail and news to and from your Internet
provider. As such it has a function similar to TrapDoor (familiar to those
with a Fidonet background), although in practice the two operate very
differently.

Here is a brief list of features:

* Reads and writes FTSC-1 compliant (*.PKT/*.OUT) mail and news bundles.

* Sends and receives mail and news directly from your provider's mail and
  news daemons. No intermediate, third party software required.

* Advanced UseNet news filtering

* MIME compatible, including quoted-printable and base64

* Session retrieve limits (configurable per newsgroup)

* Moderated newsgroups

* Advanced stripping/kludging of UseNet header information

* Configurable, highly detailed logging

* Handles special UseNet headers like X-FTN-To:

* Full support for mailing lists.

* Full support for incoming and outgoing file attachments!

* Spam filtering

* Automatic, configurable notification of new newsgroups on your news
  server.

* Utility to keep you notified of new, incoming e-mail

* Much more! :-)

NetGate is shareware. The demo version is fully functional but imposes a
few limitations to encourage registration. Shareware fee is $20.
