- Learn the Net v1.1
- by Stuart Shaw
-
-
- Hello everybody,
- Thank you for taking the time for reading this Doc.
-
- Before we start I would ask you to do all the Lessons in the
- correct order.
-
- When you have read a Paragraph over 3 lines press Enter.
- If it is not over 3 lines it will carry on itself
-
- Feel Free to pass this programme onto your friends
-
- Please do not use the peoples nicknames on IRC.
-
- All the information which you see with a "!" at the start is not
- shown on the Internet, it is telling you what to put in.
-
- The best internet provider for Atari is Demon.
- Get all your Software from BBS's or from PD Library's.
- I think Ad-Lib has Oasis.
-
- On the Internet I use Oasis version 1.35E, Cab (the Web Browser)
- and STiK (to dial).
- I don't use Oasis 2 because it is very unstable.
-
- The best maginzine to buy for Lists of prices and phone numbers
- for internet Providers is .Net
