Omega-TI Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 What is your preferred method for calling the BBS using a NON-TIP Raspberry Pi? Shift838 has a website you can go to to call Heatwave, but some people might also prefer to use a program actually residing on their RPI. Do you use a program similar to Putty on your RPi or do you use some other program? If so where did you get it? Is there an easy "sudo apt-get install _______" for your favorite program?

+arcadeshopper Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 i prefer to use syncterm on a linux machine, you'll probably have to compile it for the pi.. it uses xwindows so of course that's required.. if you are running a pi just in cli mode you can just install telnet and telnet .. sudo apt-get telnet.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 i compiled SyncTerm to run on the Raspberry Pi and it looks good. I have also compiled QODEM (Like QMODEM). both look great on the Pi3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+9640News Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I have two options. If I am at home, I use My-Term on a Geneve 9640. If I am elsewhere, then I go to the website http://9640news.ddns.net:8080and select either the 9640News BBS, Fusion BBS, or Heatwave BBS and access those BBS's through a web interface using a web browser.
