The bringing back to life of the Burroughs will happen. I'm not sure
on the BBS. But your mention of Lantronic gave me a thought .....
about my Amiga boxes. I still wouldn't have a decent browser but
heck, life isn't all about the interweb anyway. And I might get
inspired to clean the rust off of my feeble programming skills to
port a *nix browser to the Amiga OS. Amiga Dos is very Unix-like
anyway.
Anyway, thanx for the advice - which I will forward on to Lee.
The Amiga doesn't have a web browser? The Atari ST has a few actually.
The Lantronix boxes would work fine on the Amiga to replace anything that's expecting to talk to a modem (you might be able to do other
things with it using a raw connection or by getting creative but most people I know use the modem emulation mode).
It has one (or more) but I am so used to the neato, whiz-bang stuff
in Pale Moon and Chrome that its features seem awf'ly crude. It's
been a number of years since I've even had one fired up on the
'Miggy.
The Lantronix boxes would work fine on the Amiga to replace
anything that's expecting to talk to a modem (you might be able
to do other things with it using a raw connection or by getting creative but most people I know use the modem emulation mode).
Thanks for the info. Right now I am asking myself if I want to get
involved in yet another "project" while trying to stare down mt
Diamond Jubilee.

On the first part, yeah... the Atari ST browsers kinda suck too. ;) If someone wrote one that would work on the TT with full graphics card support, JavaScript, etc.... I'd ditch my PC... but alas.
Diamond Jubilee in... life? If so, yes. You want to start calling
BBSes on your Amiga. You want to start calling AMIGA BBS's on your
Amiga. You want to call my BBS on an Amiga... and the C-64 and Atari 8-bit and the Apple BBS's.
And then you want to take that Lantronix box and start playing modem to modem GAMES on your Amiga.
And it will make you feel at least 20 years younger.
Is there an Atari emulator for the PeeCee? I have "Amiga Forever"
available to me (or did on my XP box). But, I looked it over,
snorted, snickered and binned it. It was one of those well-known
"kinda, sorta" type deals.

Sure there are a few emulators for the Atari on the PC... Why would I
use one? I'll take real hardware anyday.
And it wouldn't change the fact that there still isn't a really great browser for it that would let me ditch the PC altogether. ;)
TBH - that probably wouldn't happen even if there were a decent
browser for either of our boxes. There is a noticable lack of
devgelopment in productivity (and most other) software on our
moribund operating systems.
But, if we can't dream then where are we?

Well, while I do love my Outlook and Onenote... I have to say that my
life isn't productive enough that I'd need the latest productivity software. ;)
But I'd miss my Visual Studio too.
