It's evidently only _my_ Internet-GEnie link that doesn't work, Bob.
Everyone else that I've talked to that have done this says it's fine.
I probably screwed it up myself.  Go figure.  :)

BTW, Bill and Pattie Rayl of Atari Interface Magazine can be reached
right here on the internet.

And as nice as CIS is, it's still *very* expensive, compared to GEnie.
For Atari users, GEnie is a _much_ better online service, with much
more active Atari support than CIS and it's also the "official" online
service of Atari Corporation (for what that's worth).  CIS is huge and
offers a _lot_ of services, but Atari-related stuff is better on GEnie.

PC users, on the other hand, are *much* better off at CIS than GEnie.
