After 33 years, Atari 8-bit users can now access the PLATO service, which as of 2004 is now being provided at cyber1.org using an 850 interface, and a Wifi232 modem. For the purposes of demonstration, I am using PTERM 5.0.8 on the PC, and comparing it to The Learning Phone cartridge running in Altirra, an Atari 8-bit emulator.

You can register for PLATO here: http://cyber1.org/

You can get The Learning Phone ROM here: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-learning-phone-_6486.html
