Yes, I think so.
Now, the only thing missing is an all-in package for getting an Atari onto the internet.
Getting an atari onto the internet, has to be one of the biggest problems I have had, ever with my Atari.
I have had tou source this or that program, from various places and there isnt any reall fully 100% correct information ( I feel anyway ) for getting onto the internet.... Or at least there isnt any fool-proof way of getting my Atari onto the internet anyway.
I have managed it using a Serial port modem, and in all honesty, getting it sorted was such a bloody pain that when I eventually managed it, I gave up.
Ethernet is something that I want to toy with, but still have not actually done so... I dont have an ethernet port for my TT yet ( Thats a YET by the way... It will happen, just not yet )
By far, the easiest way for me, was to network the TT to OS/2 for gods sake! - I also did it through Linux and it was no different, but I did OS/2 first.
Now, when you consider that I already had the PCs on the internet, it sort of made the Atari a little bit useless for it.
I still to this day cannot find any reall fool-proof way of getting a basic TT onto the internet, so as a starter system for accessing EMails and simple web browsing, I cannot recommend an Atari at all, I am sorry to say.
