Yea, the age of script kiddies who know everything there is to know from
Google.
Warlord had
built it and written the software himself. The central
system was an IBM PC (ISTR it was a 5150 rather than an XT). It was
"networked" to four Atari 400s. I assume there was a serial
connection from the PC to each Atari. Each of the Ataris ran two
modems.
What I find most disturbing is that it was **EASY** to put 4 or even 8
modems in each ISA box, and ***EASY*** to program for them. Now I have the
knowledge, but it was pretty hermetic on the past. We live in the age of
info, and now we have the world at our hands...
I'm lucky, I live in one of the best of all ages :o)
