   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
