One of the most widely recommended Bulletin Boards
supporting the Atari 8-bit is The Ark whose sysop has provided a good
deal of support for PAGE 6 over the past year and who has now got
together this disk to enable more of you to get into the world of
communications. Owners of the 850 interface or the P:R Connection will
find here amended and tested versions of AMODEM that will enable them to
log on to Bulletin Boards at 1200/75 instead of the standard 300/300,
which will not only allow access to many more boards but will also save
you a lot of money in telephone costs! Those of you who own the Datatari
interface will be able to use another terminal program for the first
time and can also communicate at 1200/75. If you don't own an interface
at all and don't fancy forking out £70 or so, fear not, for the disk
includes details of how to build your own RS232 interface for around
£12! The disk is fully documented and is highly recommended for anyone
who is into comms. You might even like to call up The Ark at your new
1200/75 baud rate and thank James Bastaple and various friends for
helping to widen your comms enjoyment.
