Surfing the back alleys of the Internet today, I found an ISP in Nova
Scotia that has downloads of Internet access and utilities software for
Commodores, Apple II's, and Atari's.
Cool.

New subject: Internet software for an XT computer
I'm sure I have read before that some users on the forum use internet
software for accessing the internet that will run on old XT running DOS
(Text only)..?
Would someone tell me where I could get a copy of this software..
Thanks..

Phil:
The program you want is "Nettamer" and you can get it from garbo.uwasa.fi
in the /pc/connect/ directory; filename: n1101xt.zip
It's great, it was the first program I used to surf the 'Net on my XT!

If your ISP has a shell server, they will usually have Lynx which is a text
only browser. You can simply dial in using a terminal program like Telix.
Actally using a non-gui browser can be considerably faster, since you don't
have to download all those "pretty" pictures. Some sites don't support
text-only but they're sites most "geeks"like us aren't interested in
anyway.
The MSDos I-net program of choice however seems to be "Net-Tamer"
which is readily available. I'm sending you a FIDO post from a year or so ago
reviewing the many various programs under separate cover.
