- A friend of mine is a non-computer type who has purchased an
- Amiga 2000 for his professional work as an animator. I want him to get
- connected to the Internet, BBS'es, etc, but I have no idea about the Amiga
- so don't know what shareware/freeware/commercial comm software is available.
- He has a modem I gave him, but how does he get the Amiga to talk to it?
- Is there comm software built in to the system? Is there any simple freeware
- available that he can use, just to get going so that he can start downloading
- etc and decide for himself what he wants?
-
- I only know OS/2, so I am lost on the AMIGA (though I must say that
- all the frequent posts in the OS/2 groups to "the Amiga did that ten years
- ago" seem to be fairly on point, from a 5 minute inspection of his system.
-
- Any help gratefully appreciated. Preferrably, can you E-mail me

- since for obvious reasons I don't check this newsgroup too often.

- Thanks a lot
