H=E4=E4h, what was that?? To answer the question in the subject line:

No, you cannot use uqwk with ibm.net! ibm.net is not a shell account
so uqwk is not usable (only if it is now capable of doing it via
NNTP/POP3/SMTP). At least there are better alternatives to uqwk like
Souper or VSoup. VSoup is the multithreaded version of Souper (with
the limitation that it only exists for OS/2!).

Souper can be found on the standard Yarn site: =20

http://www.vex.net/yarn/

VSoup can be found on:

- ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/tcpip/news/vsoup*.zip

- ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/incoming/vsoup*.zip, later on it can be
found at ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/internet/vsoup*.zip.
