Telnet with Emulators?

[A8Watcher_808]

I've been trying for sometime, off and on, to log onto bbses using telnet and Steem SSE. I've done searches but haven't found any straight answers. I've run across the Break Into Chat blog and got ideas but I'm using Windows 10 and not a Mac so I couldn't follow the steps on the page. I did have partial success using virtual serial ports like HW Virtual Serial port but I would get maybe a line of text then it would drop the rest. I'm sure I've tried some other things too but I don't remember anymore. So does anybody know a way to telnet using Steem or Hatari?

I have not used Steem lately, but for Hatari- I don't think it supports virtual network interfaces, so I think the best you could do there is run a SLIP/PPP connection via null modem from the PC back to itself, and then route it to the net. That would be slow and painful to set up.

 

You might want to look at the "Aranym" project- That's designed to simulate a more modern TOS type system (like an ST/TT emulator on steroids), and supports network interfaces.

I've tried Hatari. It reads/writes rs232 input and output to files which I could work with but that also had issues. I think it dropped a lot of characters as well. Earlier today I tried COM2TCP with Steem and just like before it would show a line of text then drop the rest. I just thought there'd be a simple solution that worked with Steem that I was overlooking.
