   WOW This is really exciting!!! Thanks for looking into this!!

   Emulation would work, but I dare suggest (cringing): You can use Syncterm   
   which has PETSCII support if you want a down and dirty quick way to test it. I   
   know that is sacrilege to suggest but it does. hehe   
      
   I would foresee PETSCII support making its way into Netrunner though as a   
   result of Mystic offering PETSCII!! ;)

    g0> some feedback.   
      
   Well I know you would have me FOR SURE testing it on  real hardware and   
   emulation, I know Al (Bucko) would too!!!! Yeah I threw him under the bus but   
   this is a feature that is huge to him and I for our BBS'.  For me my   
   8bitboyz.com  crowd of Commodore users would also be excited for this.   
      
   Thank you for considering this!
