- Good idea.

- Bad Mood wasn't supposed to support any TCP/IP stuff. Running an external
- program for acquiring the file might be conceivable though... STiK is
- supposed to now have ftp program (but STiK still supports only uncompressed
- SLIP, so IMHO MiNTNet is only real alternative).

- Without MiNT + MiNTNet that wouldn't be very flexible. Using
- TCP/IP has quite an overheard and Mood will need a lot of bandwidth,
- so modem playing with TCP/IP (internet) is most probably out of
- question with a plain modem link. Also the list has decided to do
- the linking throught Midiport and on Ataris only (for connecting to
- PC Doom we would need ID protocol specs which are *not* free).
