Rich Dawe's Free Software Page

Introduction

There are vast amounts of free software available, but the trouble is remembering where it all is. This page has links to the free software that I've downloaded and found useful. Some of the software isn't actually free, but I'll indicate when it's (ugh) shareware.

This page is principally about Windows software. I hope to write a page on Linux free software soon.

Most of my software is free. You may like to take a look at it :)

Dial-up Utilities

RasInTask - A helpful utility that allows one-click access to all your dial-up networking accounts. It's great when you're to lazy to do 'My Computer'->'Dial-Up Networking'...zzzz

FTP Clients

I use LeechFTP, which has a very nice interface and is capable of many simultaneous FTP transfers. It seems a bit more stable than other clients I've used too.

FTP Servers

War-FTP Daemon

Gateways

Mail Readers

Mail Servers

Name Lookup (DNS)

Web Browsers

This is in no particular order. I prefer Netscape as it's faster & I think it has a nicer interface. Plus, it stops Microsoft's domination of all things in computing.

Microsoft Internet Explorer
Netscape Navigator

If you want to add some strong encryption to Netscape, in order to circumvent the US's "ban" on exportation of encryption, look here:
