Finally: Broadband for the Commodore 64

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the answer-to-a-question-that-didn't-need-asking dept.

GP writes "Now even die-hard Commodore 64 users are able to enjoy the benefits of broadband Internet connectivity. A newly announced Ethernet card together with the Contiki operating system lets you surf the web, send e-mail, host web sites with the built-in web server, and soon even play LAN games on your good old Commodore 64! All this with a computer that is old enough to drink."

    A C64 will hardly be able to push 2kbps, which makes broadband seem useless to me. It would seem that beyond the "coolness factor," the most realistic thing to do would be to just simply run it through your PC using serial, and save a buck. Maybe if we can just figure out how to overclock a C64 to 250mhz, we could saturate a T1!

    Some mod has a great sense of humor.
