As the German online service "Atari-Home.de" reports, it may soon be possible to go online with the Atari XL/XE. Currently a stack is in the works that is based on "uip". uip is only about 4 KBytes "big" and is written in cc65. uip can also be easily ported to the Atari 8 Bit. Ken Siders has taken on this task and has already done large parts of the interface control. The only problem is that uip only offers SLIP access. After uip is finished for the XL/XE, however, the developer also wants to work out a PPP layer. (tr)
