Look for a V.32 9600 bps modem.  MISCO sells them for about $370,
and I'm fairly sure you can get them cheaper by looking through an issue of
Computer Shopper or even a local 'free' paper.  A 2400 bps modem should cost
you less than $100 brand new.

There are some excellant shareware programs available on atari.archive in the
../Games/Kids-games directory.  My 2 year old enjoys sitting with me at the
computer and going through the Knowledge Vine's "House" program (kv_house.zoo).
Dorothy Brumleve's "Potato" program (potato.zoo) allows you to create a
figure from a variety of parts, similar to Mr. Potatohead.  The Knowledge Vine
folks used to have a BBS where you could get programs.  You might want to try
there as well.

If you don't have Internet access, send me some e-mail and we can talk about
getting you copies of the programs I have at home (all the stuff on
atari.archive plus other bits I've pulled from GEnie, etc.).  Most of it is in
our user group's disk library.
