Terminal from Atari800MacX

[Pengwin]

I don't know if this has been asked before, but I thought I would ask anyway.

 

Forget the "why would you want to do that?" question...but is it possible to use the emulator Atari800MacX as a terminal emulator for my Mac? If so, how is it done?

If you are talking about using Atari800MacX to talk to telnet BBS's, you can do that. You should use your favorite Atari Terminal program (like BobTerm), and make sure R: emulation is turned on in the emulator. Then to "Dial" out in Bobterm, when you go to terminal mode, type:

 

ATDI hostname port

 

i.e.

 

ADTI thebbs.com 23

 

If you are talking about using a real serial port as a 850 simulator, Atari800MacX doesn't have that capability right now....

Thanks, that's exactly what I was after. It was the 'dialling out' I couldn't figure out

Or better yet... ATDI bfbbs.no-ip.com 23
