+davidcalgary29 Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 You should be able to do that. I know several local guys who have souped-up their C64s (but not radically so), and use a non-graphical browser for web 'surfing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon-paul Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 Not Directly Can be done via a PC or a direct dial to a unix shell system using a terminal emulator. You can proberbly set up an old PC as a shell system running 'Lynx' or some such text only web-browser. Connect the PC to the internet, and 'dail in' on the PC with the Atari via an SIO2PC or modem cabel You could do e-mail the same way using Pine or a simmilar text based e-mail system.

billkendrick Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 If your ISP provides shell access (e.g., to a Unix or Linux server), you can log in via their modem pool. You won't be using PPP, but just plain ASCII text (like telnet'ing into the shell). From there you can presumably run a text-based e-mail client (like PINE or Mutt), news reader (like Tin or SLRN) and web browser (like Links or Lynx). You can also get files via FTP (using command-like FTP like NCFTP on the shell), and then download them to your Atari using X-, Y- (or even Z-) modem. BobTerm, Ice-T and FlickerTerm80 are some good programs to check into. Find them at XL Search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
