›              o=o=o=o=o=››             Breaking News›› In  an earlier issue, I described how› Tom Hunt was able to create a special› version  of BBS Express PRO that he's› running  in  emulation  on  a  PC  to› create a telnet-able BBS (URL  is  on› the  URL  List,  elsewhere  in   this› issue.)   Now there are several other› important   developments   that   are› bringing  our  Atari 8-bits closer to› the Internet, either  as  stand-alone› machines  or  through  PCs running as› proxy-servers.›› Steven   Tucker  has  added  a  proxy› server to A.P.E. 98 (now  in  Beta.) › To  demonstrate  how it works, he has› set up the second  telnet-able  Atari› BBS.   This one runs the freeware BBS› Express (URL  is  also  on  that  URL› List.)›› In addition, significant progress has› been made in both Project Pheonix, an› attempt  to  create a Web browser for› our 8-bits, and  Project  ICE,  which› promises  to  bring  direct   dial-up› Internet  access to our 8-bits.  I've› also heard, but  not  confirmed  that› SMTP    (sending   e-mail   messages)› through   a   proxy-server  has  been› accomplished.››              o=o=o=o=o=›››
