      From: nospam.g00r00@f215.n129.z1.fidonet.org               SO> Emulation would work, but I dare suggest (cringing): You can use Syncterm        SO> which has PETSCII support if you want a down and dirty quick way to test        SO> it. I know that is sacrilege to suggest but it does. hehe              Hey there is nothing wrong with Syncterm, its a great terminal!              If Syncterm supports it I would use it to test with, but at some point it needs       to be put through the motions with actual hardware (if possible). I don't want       to assume that Syncterm would be 100% perfect in its emulation (although it       very well could be).              Could you recommend a Windows C64 or C128 emulator and terminal software for       the Commodore that could be used to telnet into a Mystic BBS from the emulator?        Does such a setup exist? This would be my ideal testing platform and then I       can have someone on real hardware give it a shot once I think I have it right.               SO> I would foresee PETSCII support making its way into Netrunner though as a        SO> result of Mystic offering PETSCII!! ;)              That wouldn't be out of the question, although NetRunner is my neglected child       so it could take a while lol              ...
