>(communications software)?  Thanks.  

The .com would indicate an IBM PC compatible executable.  For the Atari 
ST, you want an external 1200 or 2400 baud Hayes compatible modem.  As for 
software, I would recommend Flash 1.6 (available via mail order for about 
$15) as is it very easy to use.  Later, if you want more extensive terminal 
emulation, you can obtain Uniterm 2.0e free from the net or PD disk house.
Again, I would recommend Flash for a beginner.
