+DarkLord Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Can anyone recommend a modem and web browser for the 1040STFM? 1016606[/snapback] Personally, I'd recommend not getting a modem. Go for an EtherNEC and then something like Highwire with it. CAB is still out there too, just not supported anymore, AFAIK. Oh, I'd make sure I've got 4 megs of RAM. HTHs. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Agreed! CAB is stuck at HTML <4.01 IIRC, but the latest version has PNG support. About the modem, I'd say that you can really well use it, since CAB was designed with modems in mind, so you'll find a lot of useful options for speeding up the browsing. Yes, EtherNEC would be awesome, as is going to be Highwire; but it would lead you to setting up things a bit, maybe also installing MiNT. CAB+PPPconnect is a no-brainer: install, set the telephone number and GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used it on my Mega ST4, so I know it works. Good stuff. :-) For some people modems are the best option so I guess it just depends on the original posters current situation.

krupkaj Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 BTW have you seen this project - EtherNEC2 on the Atari-forum? It looks very handy compared to original EtherNEC http://atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=773...47cd520a062f7f0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the countdown is down to just a few weeks. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jens Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) Although Ethernec does work without MiNT highwire does need MiNT, MagiC, maybe Geneva or TOS 4.04. MiNT and MagiC are definately working Geneva is said to do and TOS 4.04 did some versions of highwire ago - don't know if it still can be used...
