I've also started thinking that the fewer games you have the more you value each. How much time would I spend with this Myster Masters game if I had the whole Apple IIe software universe at my disposal? For that matter how much time would I spend with *any* game with the whole universe of software available? Sadly, not much.

So I got the serial null modem cable and along with making some disks with ADTPro I decided to try some experiments. I got a terminal program on the apple (Apple Terminal II) and was able to send text back and forth between the apple and the PC (using SyncTerm on the PC)
That got me thinking maybe I could write a program that could run on the PC and act as a proxy to allow me to do all sorts of stuff over that connection such as connect to BBS's, hit FTP sites, text web browsing, who knows. I'll start with a telnet to com port proxy and try to do some BBSing on the apple.
Of course if anyone know of any such program already in existance I'd like to try it out.
