Teletext emulator WOW, sounds like you were quite the Whizz kid Charles.
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.
