   The FALCON 030 LAN Port of MYSTERY   
   20 Apr 13 15:34:56   
   
   From: phantomm@suddenlink.net   
      
   As long as, I've had a Falcon 030, I've looked for software to make use of   
   it.   
      
   Wether connecting two Falcons together with the Lan ports (if possible).   
      
   Or using the LAN for connecting to the Net.   
      
   Is the Falcons LAN Port Bugged?  Or is it just lack of software?   
      
   IIRC, the Modem software STalker, can make use of the LAN port.   
      
   ALL, this problem seem to begin with the Falcons bugged modem port.   
      
   I have HSmodem7 installed, but dont know, what is set for the LAN port,   
   as most of the doc I have is in German. And at the time, there wasn't any   
   translators around.   
      
   I was wondering, if anyone reading this group, has some good knowledge of   
   the Falcons LAN port.   
      
   I'd like to know what software (if any) is out there to make some kind of   
   use   
   of this port.   
      
   Also, can someone send me HSMODEM7 with English Docs, OR the necessary   
   files to make the most of the modem port and Lan Port.  I am using STing   
   1.26.   
      
   I have 2 Centurbo II B versions, and 3 Falcons with small upgrades, but no   
   major   
   Processor upgrade.  I recall, the CT2B really rocked on the NET, back in the   
   Modem   
   Days.   
      
   Now, I have a collection of various Routers that work, but I have no way to   
   connect to   
   my Falcons.  Although, I found a interesting Cable, that I can connect a   
   Router to any Atari   
   ST-Falcon.  I'm going to experiment with it and see what happens.   
      
   Also have a collection of those PC ethernet boards.   
      
   Is there anyone making a device so I can connect my Falcon or other Atari to   
   a regular Router?   
      
   And does anyone know any tricks, to get a Router connected to a Falcon and   
   actually get online   
   with it, without trying to hunt down hardware that doesn't seem to exist.   
      
   I was going to do sometype of Null Modem to my Laptop, Or another option I   
   know about,   
   but that's really not what I need. I can always download software to a CD   
   and then put it into   
   one of my Falcons CD drives.   
      
   I may go back to the old 56K Dial up.  The CT2Bs were not that slow anyway.   
   I have some ideas in mind, so I may be able to come up with something on my   
   own.
