Hello All,

i'm pretty sure that you came across the fujinet project.
i really like the commodore vic-20 version of it, i would really like one to
my office to display some fun things on my old vic20, sadly i am not an
expert electronic-guy so i have to wait until someone assembles an adapter
and sells it (if you are one of this-let me know! ;)). but check it out:

but today i saw this. a game server over the internet for ataris. i don't
have these atari consoles /just one ST for Notator and an other for a future atari bbs/, but the idea is great :)

Yeah, I'm atariborbit and I work alot with the FujiNet project. In fact
I set up my BBS just so I have a BBS to test out with 8bits and the
FujiNet.

Vic20 support is mostly proof-of-concept as it needs one of those
carts that expands the RAM on the vic20. But the support for Atari, C64
and AppleII is working very nicely and as you notices we just
introduced a game lobby/server system to allow cross-platform play.

It's for Atari now but someone is porting to C64.

lots of info at http://fujinet.online

This is cool stuff you're doing over there. Thanks for letting me discover it.

Also so lovely to see interesting people who contribute to retro computing over the web, being discovered active community members of the BBS world as well!

that's like a double win to have folks like you here!

... Xerox Alto was the thing. Anything after we use is just a mere copy.

I really enjoyed the VCF SW talk about FujiNet - I wanna get involved. I only have one compatible retro, an Atari 400, atm... but I see theres also work on the Apple II - I think this is pretty exciting. I can imagine a day when retro owners of several brands use FujiNet to play a game of poker or blackjack...

I'm gonna try to get the Atari FujiNet and hopefully a IIe dev board - are they open source so I can just build one rather than waiting for the US web guy to get enough of us interested?

I hope that FujiNet get more publicity over the VCF talk... he was shy, but the presenter was a rockstar and did a good job. The project deserves more help!

Is there another competitor? It seems to me like the project we should all get behind... its completely different than a wifi modem, which I thought was what it was b/c I didn't have a compatible machine and didn't learn more before...
