High quality Commercial plug-ins from Warm Silence Software.
- Sound plug-in
No more silent pages on your RISC OS browser. This plug-in enables

- Acorn TCP/IP Stack
From RISC OS 3.70 onward, the Acorn TCP/IP stack is supplied
as standard in the system ROM. Users of older versions of RISC OS
can ask their dealer for a soft-loadable version. The Acorn
TCP/IP stack is a port of the Free BSD Stack and has been proven
to be very fast and reliable.
- FreeNet stack
This is an alternative to the above supplied and maintained by
a group of enhousiasts.
- PPP Client/Server
A very good port of the unix 'pppd' door Sergio Monesi.
Both a DCI-2 (old) and DCI-4 (new) version are available.
The main advantage over Acorn's PPP driver is the ability to
be used not only as Client,
but as Server as well (auto answer).
- FTPc
A very good FTP application. Allows transfer of entire directories
with their contents (multi level). Very robust and much better
and faster than ANT's FTP client.
- LIRC
An IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client for RISC OS.
- ICQ
An ICQ-client for RISC OS.
- LPR
A port of a Unix LPR client. Allows the use of the LPR protocol
to drive most network printers through a TCP/IP network. Supported
by most printers with a network card.
- Riscster
A RISC OS client for Napster, the popular MP3 site.
- JetDirectFS
Software to drive a network printer through the HP JetDirect
protocol. No more wires between your computer and the printer.
No more printer switchers.

- VNCView
- VNCServe
- OmniClient
A universal client for the RISC OS desktop giving a common interface
for most networks. Currently supported are: Acorn Access, Sun NFS,
Acorn FileServer level 4, LanManager (via NetBeui or TCP/IP).
Optionally available: AppleTalk client.
- NWClient, Novel IPX
Finally braking the Novell barrier; a RISC OS client for
Novel Netware servers running the IPX protocol.
- SMBServer (Samba) version 0.08
