Perhaps we can engage in some debate to make it a little more topical?  :-)

Then again, I just returned to Fido yesterday after a number of years
of not being active here, and for all I know the old OS-DEBATE echo I
remember is dead now.  :-(

Out of curiosity, how old is the PC?  Even 486-class boxes can be made
useful with the right software.

I don't do offline reading with my Mac, so I know little about these,
but this might give you some starting points:

First of all:

  http://www.snak.com/TIMM.html

Next, on this page:

  http://ftp.unina.it/pub/Mac/info-mac/_Communication/_Bulletin_Board/

you can find

  alice-242.hqx
  freddie-125.hqx
  
I'm not aware of any others (those're all I found)...  Good luck!
