    Hi all,

    Wondering what other BBS ANSI terminals people are using out there for telnet?

    I'm currently using mTelnet and it works very well.

    https://mt32.bbses.info/

    I've used TE/2 test drive for analog modem use.

    Thanks for any other suggestions...

    ZOC seems to work fine after all these years.

    I just found some old logs in my /Zoc/logs directory. The newest is from the year 2010, but the oldest ones from year 1998 are quite interesting to read. ;)

    yeah i really like ZOC .. use the Windows version on Linux too :)

    iirc the only thing i tweaked (that isn't relevant only to me) is that BBSes now use pageup/pagedown for things so you have to map them

    ^[[5~ PgUp
    ^[[6~ PgDn
