[comp.sys.m6809] Usenet/e-mail access for Color Computer

zed@mdbs.uucp (Bill Smith) (08/23/90)

I have a friend with a Tandy Color Computer 2 and (as far
as I can tell) all the bells and whistles.  Is there any software
available that could get him Usenet and/or e-mail access, given
the cooperation of a local site for the feed?

Please let me know & I will forward the information to him.
(include a phone number, please)

(Sorry, I'm not very familiar with the name of the CoCo's OS's or I'd
remember the name of the one he has.)

Mark Griffith has ported one of the UUCP-like programs to OS-9/6809 for
the CoCo, though it may need Level Two to run (because of the memory
limitations of Level One).  It's close to being released, and I wouldn't
be surprised if said release were announced on this newsgroup (this =
comp.sys.m6809).  Stay tuned.
