Comments: This is a very good issue for anyone contemplating buying a modem and getting started in telecommunications. Most of the Atari specific modems and some of the generic modems are discussed as well as several telecommunications software packages. The September issue will feature an article on how to tune in weather satellite pictures on your Atari (either ST or 8-bit). My TOC should be a lot earlier for that issue. I like to beat the issue to news stand so no one has a problem finding it if they want to buy it. Kit Kimes AT&T--Information Systems Labs 1100 E. Warrenville Rd.
