That sounds extremely interesting have you seen what the guys who created TEEFAX have done recently and their Vbit2 software on the Pi. it sounds like you were decades ahead of them if I understand you correctly. What they have now used the Pi to get some use out of the old Teletext adaptors that are around. Often they come up on Ebay. Vbit is I think the only way to get much fun out of them these days. I am typing this from my BBC Master, I also have my original ModelB. I am using a RPi with TCPSER as a wimodem to log on. I am trying to get a viewdata BBS built myselF but finding any working BBS software for the Beeb is proving impossible. Some programs exist they just dont work with Hayes modems. A former purveyor of BBS software is trying to get me something though so I am hopeful I will have a small night time dial up Viewdata BBS available in 2023. Hopefully you can visit. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/03/02 (Windows/32) * Origin: 8-Bit Boyz BBS! -=[ bbs.8bitboyz.com port:6502 ]=- (1:305/3) SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 114/705 120/340 123/120 131 SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/7715 154/10 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/110 111 SEEN-BY: 229/112 113 114 206 275 307 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 664 SEEN-BY: 229/700 266/512 282/1038 292/854 298/25 305/3 317/3 320/219 SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 PATH: 305/3 317/3 229/426 |
