doctor_x #1 Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Did any of you ever get into the hacking/phreaking underground and use the ST as a tool for boxing, wardialing, scanning codes, etc? I collect such software for historical purposes and even if it was just a name of the app I would love to hear about any software in this arena that you used.. I can at least then add the app name to my search list... Or if anyone happened to have some stuff on disk that would be even better p.s. yes I know this stuff doesn't work thesedays.. I am not collecting to use it I am just collecting because nobody else seems to have an archive of such software.. (For the Atari at least!)

I know that there was at least one wardialer written for it. It might have been a port of the PC wardialer ToneLoc, or an ST application that happened to use the same name. I'm not 100% sure about that part, but it seems to be ringing bells in my mind. That was actually one of the things I kept my 800 around for - it was useful for wardialling while I was doing other stuff on the ST. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of my (European) Atari hardware and software was lost. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
