So recently I decided to pull out the Obi200 and connect to a eBay purchased US Robotics 56K modem. Using My Mac with the atari800MacX emulator loaded up BobTerm and dialed into Amis86.ddns.net:9000 - So you cant dial into and IP address right? Nope, thanks to Ramsaso (Reddit) he created a modem pool with local dial up number. Amis86 is 949-325-9040 I fire up BobTerm, dial through the Obi VOIP and connect to the modem pool.. What happens next is just plain retro AwEsOmE! Check out the video of me connecting to the modem pool, hitting in the User Id and Password: amis86 and bam! connected by modem, through IP to the bbs. The data flow is perfect and so close to the original modem experience.
