Atari connected to IRC/Shell accounts via APE

So my atari 130xe is now on irc running BitchX via my fedora 9 linux box.

 

I was wondering what other apps could i get that would be useful on the atari and the linux box.

 

what other experiences have u guys had with the ape telnetted thru a linux box.

it took a little while for icet to get configured right so the text would scroll correctly

 

i had to change the word wrap, emulation and hard return codes.

In the near future i will be coming out with a FAQ file on the exact processes i did to make this work out.

any thing in text mode or ncurses should work.. however.. no colour as of yet. just monochrome like a dumb terminal

 

also to get bitchx you have to run it in -d dumb terminal mode

links2 for browsing the web, mutt for reading/writing emails, slrn for usenet, ncftp or lftp for FTP and of course screen for managing multiple sessions.

 

so long,

How does it deal with text mode graphics characters? I tried this on my Apple II, but the terminal emulation sucked. So all those nice pretty ncurses decorations showed up as control characters.

You can run a real IRC client on your Atari. All you need is Urchlay's FujiChat 0.4, an Atari RS232 interface (or SIO2PC), and SLIP protocol running on your linux box. See here.

 

I can't recall if a modified slattach (for SLIP) is still required or not. (Perhaps Urchlay will give us an update).

Yeah, some sort of tutorial would be nice. I haven't been able to get any connection at all to my XL with the USB version.
