In BYTE (May, '86) a bulletin board sponsored by ATARI was announced.
There are four different lines:

1-408-745-5308
          5970
          2642
          4758

The BBS has 9 different special interest groups (SIGS):

1.	General
2.	XE
3.	User Groups
4.	Dealers
5.	Service Centers
6.	Developers
7.	ST Art
8.	ST Computer
9.	SYSOPS

Set your modem to no parity, 1 stop bit.  I managed to log in with my
1200 baud modem.  I believe 300 baud is supported also.  When I stumbled
around the BBS it looked like there was a lot of interesting software to
download.  Files could be downloaded in ascii, xmodem, and some other
format.  One can log onto the service for a period of twenty minutes.

I tried to download some programs, without success.  I could download
text files with no problem, but programs got screwed up somehow.  

I have the PC Intercom program (an early version).  This program allows one
to download files in ascii, raw, modem7 (whatever that is), and 
PC Intercom modes.  I tried ascii and raw without success.

Would someone who has been successful downloading programs please let
me know how it is done?  I'm completely stumped.

Thanks in advance,
