--- NOTABLE ATARI ALLIES ----

10 "I Still Like Atari" BBS (Yes, that is actually the name)
telnet://evtek.net

Reminds me of the good old BBS days as well. I know there are still some BBS's still active along side the net as well. One program that I do know of for the PC side is called Synchonet. It is a program that can be run on a PC and you can telnet to it or use the option of the web pages in order to do that similar to like what this program does for the atari programs. Very neat to still see running in todays modern world.

THe thing that I find weird with The internet and BBS in general. Part of the internet has spun off of what the BBS were in the 70's, 80's, and partly of the 90's until the internet went public. And that was the general message boards that were local to what we considered ISP where everyone lives. Where you can post on their newsgroups or the general boards that can be created on either a paid or free web hosting servers. You figure that the BBS's would have been even more populated if some of the programs being used from hen would be able to hook onto the internet with a 56k modem or with todays DSL or cable modem. I had only found one app that would still use both cable modem and a regular plain vanilla internal or external modems that are on board some comuters today.
