Hello All,
Thanks for help in the past..
If my //c could run vt terminal emulation, and connect through serial
to an adjacent PC, I believe it may be able to display a text file
from ftp transfer over the internet.
I would love my Apple // to be an up to date weather machine.
The Bureau of Meterology gives Sydney weather via ftp: See
http://www.bom.gov.au/other/Ftp.shtml
and ftp://ftp2.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo/IDN10064.txt for the actual
text I would love to interface to my Apple.
Could someone with more experience than I please share the mysteries
of how I might arrange for my A2 to receive or request the ftp page
and be useful every minute of the day?
Thanks very much for any assistance,
Phillip Wylie.
