Amiga & Home Banking: Survey
Christoph Kimna writes:
Inspired by yesterday's report BTX/CEPT Entry Altered I put together in the last few
hours a table with the Amiga browsers and the 17 largest banks in which the facts should be entered. You may click on the title link to reach
this table.
Mails may be sent to banking@def-con.net; I will configure and reconfigure the table.
Also under the title link one may reach the threateningly-named "Napalm Attack Page," which unfortunately hasn't been kept current over the
last few years, but will be sometime :-). NAP:

3D Realms: Source Code of ROTT Released Under GPL
The software firm 3D Realms has publically released the source code of the 3D action game "Rise of the Triad" under GPL. A porting to other
systems is therefore only as far off as the processing power is limited. You'll find more information about this game
here.

BTX/CEPT access changed
T-Online has changed its access to the old services. For Windwos there is an upgrade available.
Unfortunately Multiterm 5 does not manage with the changed protocol and reports a socket error.
So the comfortable online-banking with the Amiga has an end. Or does anybody have a solution for this
problem?
