I finally bought a vic modem and used my hour of compuserv.
They have a comodore news group. Someone had put something out about
a public domain program which allows using the computer and modem
to download programs directly to tape, disk or printer from the main
frame computer. The fees for compuserv seem high. 100 dollar initial
connect charge and hourly fees. Does anyone know of any other electronic
bulletin boards that are available? Some of the things I want to find out
about are Public domain software and up/down loading programs between the
small (inexpensive) micros.

For those who are going to send mail telling me that net.micro is not for
comodore micros, there is also a net.micro.apple and net.micro.pc but
I see articles about them here. There may be some people with knowledge
about the VIC and C-64 who don't read netnews but have friends who do
and may respond with the answers.
