RE: A86: Internet on your TI-83/86




Hmm, sorry, but not quite...  What you /really/ need is a /dial-up/ shell
account!

My old ISP gave me one and I was very happy.  When I switched to JPSnet (for
financial reasons), I got a shell account, but contrary to what the sales
person told me it is /not/ dial-up, only telnettable.

I haven't been stupid enough to /try/ to use this program.  ;)  I already
know that it won't work with my account.  But not all ISPs have dial-in
shell accounts, and so I thought I might mention this and save a few novices
a lot of hassle.

Nonetheless, I have a couple of BBSes I want to call with it now.  :)
