Antic Magazine puts out a terminal emulator program called "Chameleon" which
contains in the documentation a termcap to use with Chameleon.   This allows
your Atari 8 bit machine (XL and XE) to act as a terminal for interfacing with
UNIX systems.  This is what I use at home to get in and out of the Tek computer
systems as well as the net.  I am not positive whether it will work with the
original 800 computer or not.  It works fine with the 800XL, 1200XL and 130XE
-- does not work with 600XL as it requires the use of a disk drive.  [Unless
you have fixed your 600XL up to somehow work with a disk drive (with 16k
memory) or have added memory to it.]

   We need net.micro.st for ST's, leave net.micro.atari for 800/XL/XE's!!!
