WArgames style Modems..

I still got one of those... Its only 9 / 14k

I seriously doubt it works still, but I might dig it out and have a go?

I used it for accessing the old BBS services that mostly no longer exist.

The annoying thing these days however, isnt really that we have issues accessing the net with the Ataris, because we can actually do it, but rather that the internet is now 99% full of junk code that you need a high end computer just to go through it to find out that most of the code does bugger all except fill up your bandwidth.

There is so much rubbish like JavaJunk, thatby the time the Atari ( and half the PCs actually ) get throughthe awfully coded rubbish, there isnt really all that much actual content in the pages, and at 19k on an ST, it can be very frustrating... 9K and 14K even more so!
