blakespot Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Is anyone aware of a C64-style terminal emulator app for the ST? Thanks. bp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I'd be tempted to post this in the 8bit BBS message thread in the 8bit forum. Might get more responses there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggn Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 What is a c64 style terminal anyway? Does something like Freeze Dried Terminal count? http://breakintochat.com/blog/2012/12/13/telnet-to-bbs-within-hatari-emulator/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 He is likely looking for something that does PETSCII in color. I won't say it doesn't exist but I'll say I've never seen it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) More appropriately, is there anything for the ST that'll do ATASCII? They totally should've added that to TOS...it's not like it would've taken up a lot of room like that other thing they should've added [GDOS]...

Tillek Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Dualterm will do ATASCII 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Dualterm will do ATASCII Thanks. Was that out back-in-the-day? I think I used Flash exclusively back then... Maybe even on my Falcon... Wait... ANSI Term? Hmm... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Thanks. Was that out back-in-the-day? I think I used Flash exclusively back then... Maybe even on my Falcon... Wait... ANSI Term? Hmm... Yeah, I think it was one of my first term programs on the ST after I moved on from the A8? But I quickly moved on because most of the A8 BBSs were gone in my local area and I had mostly moved to the ST too. ANSITerm was eventually my term of choice. I want to say I used VANTerm till then. I still use ANSITerm when calling from my ST though I admit I do most of my BBS calling from the PC with SynccTerm currently. It does a great ATASCII (and PETSCII). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Meant to say, one of MY first term programs on the ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I still say adding ATASCII to TOS would've been a nice little touch and a tipping of the hat to the A8 fans. It's a shame they didn't do that in TOS 1.2, 1.4, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baldwin Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Don"t know why someon hase node made a terminal emulator for the st ste range of computers that can do petscii and do it like how 64blazer term is made for pc dos computers, use that as an example it will fit on a single floppy easy and use the keys the sameway normale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Because you know as well as I do that it isn't worth the time. Be honest. What do you think is a guess at the number of people who... 1) Call BBS's 2) With an actual Atari ST, no SyncTerm or calling with other retro machines 3) Who want to call Commodore BBS's 4) In Petscii. Syncterm works fine for the people who are ok with that. For people like you who are serious collectors, you have a capable Commodore sitting around, right? For the Emulation crowd... well... what can I say? I actually was talking with DarkLord and some others about a "modern" term program for the ST line (mostly because I want something that can let me use whichever port or internet connection I have and take full advantage of the Falcon/TT resolutions). But if I did it, how many people would actually use it? You could count them on one hand after a tragic accident in shop class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Well, I think a few people would use it. But I fully agree, the Telnet/BBS section of the Atari community is a very specific and limited segment of the population. Wish there were a lot more but... <shrugs>.

Tillek Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 That said though, if I had source code to a good base and it was just a matter of plugging things together, that would be an entirely different story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+9640News Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Can someone give me a list of 2 or 3 PETSCII enabled BBS's out there? They need to be Telnet accessible. Thanks. Beery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+9640News Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Tim provided some PETSCII code and thought I might try to link it to a dumb telnet terminal client I have. Someone had inquired about PETSCII BBS's back in some earlier threads, but if nobody is responding about what BBS's use PETSCII, then I guess emulation is not much of a concern...……….
