RucasRiot Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 What program do you use to get your ST online? On my main ST I use STiK and on my dedicated music ST I use STinG. So, what do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Waaayyy back in the BBS days I used good Ol Flash... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 What was that desk accessory that allowed one to connect and download via Xmodem (remember that one ) and also do other things on the ST??? I think Flash was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RucasRiot Posted September 24, 2002 Author Share Posted September 24, 2002 I was actually referring to how do you get it online now... I use it for web browsing all the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 How fast of a modem do you have on it? What kind of Winsock and browser are you using? Last I heard only the Lynx (no relation to the game system) was the only thing available for it...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RucasRiot Posted September 28, 2002 Author Share Posted September 28, 2002 I'm using a 56k at 14.4 with CAB as a browser with STiK for the PPP stack and TCP/IP stuff. On my main ST anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my problem: I can't see doing ANYTHING at 14.4 anymore, having tasted of the forbidden fruit of 56K and DSL on my PC. It has to be mind-numbing.

RucasRiot Posted September 29, 2002 Author Share Posted September 29, 2002 If I turn off graphics I really can't tell the difference between 14.4 and 56k. Now as for DSL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 But if you turn the graphics off, you can't see my cute little ghost pal barbecuing up Baby Pac-Man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zap! Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Back in '93 I used ANSI Term with a fast 2400 baud modem. I'd really like to set it up again so I can go BBSing, but I don't have a phone modem nor a phone jack. I did buy a Lantronix UDS-10, but never set it up. I'd love it if someone would do a step-by-step video for use with an Atari. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodLightning Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) AtariAge user Omega aka --- Ω --- posted a definitive guide on the UDS-10. I used his "Getting Your TI on the Internet.pdf" to program my UDS-10 to behave like a standard modem. That's really all you need to do for the ST. You do need a 25 pin serial cable (female <---->male) which was always required to hook up a modem, so same thing when using the Lantronix.http://atariage.com/forums/blog/567/entry-10980-what-is-the-lantronix-uds-10-and-what-can-it-do-for-me-modified-2316/ As for the ST, I still use STalker terminal software which is what I was using years ago.

ataricrypt Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I thought this was a nifty topic at first and then I saw the thread dates hehe. I'm using my Mega STe with NetUSBee with internet through my Mac so I can browse the web with CAB, FTP with Litchi, etc, etc Turn off the gfx in CAB and its fast and dandy. Telstar is a great telnet client for cool BBS's like Darkforce. Loving it like it's the 90s! Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsunnyboy Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) I seldom use my Ataris for full network access. However a great solution for file transfer is the UIPtool made by sqward. It runs with Netusbee and turns the Atari into a file server with a web interface. One can easily transfer files to the Atari from a web browser on the PC and also download stuff from the Atari.A very very useful tool which doesn't require configuration as it brings its own TCP/IP stack and configures the LAN adapter with DHCP from your local router.

Is there a version of UIPtool that works with CosmosEx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsunnyboy Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I don't think so as CosmosEx makes use of the RaspPi LAN port and software on the RaspPi. UIPtool has a special driver for the Netusbee and compatible cards builtin.Anyway the CosmosEx has other means of providing network access so UIPtool is not necessary for filetransfers.

Lynxpro Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Waaayyy back in the BBS days I used good Ol Flash... Hellz yeah. That's what I used with my 1040STf and SX212. I was an online terror to the local BBSes. Shame Atari Corp didn't bring out faster modems because the SX212 was such a great idea since it could be used by both STs and 8-bits. I can't remember what I used with my Falcon later on but I upgraded to a Practical Peripherals 14.4K Modem that I'd use with it and also take over to my friend's house to hook up to his PC since he only had a 2400 or 4800 baud modem installed in his HP Vectra. At university, I was using my Falcon to log in and then use the Lynx text browser to go onto the net all throughout 1995 and into mid 1996 but I needed a PC by then.

+xucaen Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I was actually referring to how do you get it online now... I use it for web browsing all the time! Then I bigger question for you is - how the hec are you browsing today's web? Does the ST have a new browser that supports HTML5 and Javascript? o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcamp48 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I am using a NetUSBEE and have scoured the Internet looking for ways to get on, is there someone in the Ontario are that can help me with a Rogers setup for Stik? I would like to get on line at least to try it out on my Mega ST4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikerbob Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) rcamp48. I am in Mississauga. I would use STiNG.. but STIK is the original. you need to set the config.. put i your gateway address. setup dhcp if your using it.. or static IP. STiNG there is a pretty comprehensive manual STIK I am sure there should be as well.

+DarkLord Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I pretty much only do telnet these days with my Atari's. Telnet to my BBS (of course), as well as others like Star Fleet (and many more besides). I'm using a UDS10 with my STacy. Sometimes I get really fancy and go wireless with it. Software wise, I usually use TAZ or ANSITerm. Been meaning to give Telstar a real try but haven't gotten around to it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Any hints were I can find Telstar? The google searches are inundated with the other results for the game of the same name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesWD Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 NetusBee would be the easiest or Hydra (a NetusBee without the USB ports). Hydra with Sting is what I use, superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally1 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) is it viable or merely clever to use ST these days for the internet..? and is NetusBee worth buying/implementing? that guy in 2002 said: 'i use my ST for web browsing all the time..."(!!!) oh these days i use an atari 1200 baud modem and the terminal prog vt52 emulator i think just to call BBSes. fun and good enuff for me!

Hmm, nope - just seen it mentioned by several people as being good software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
