I've tried both, and while Flickerterm doesn't crash out on the ANSIs as much as Ice-T does, both of them still have a problem with Mystic detecting them as 40 columns. On 2oFB you can't change that in the Account Settings menu, so it's sort of unusable from those two terminal programs. Something I haven't tried yet is either BobTerm or VT100 with XEP-80 hooked up for 80 columns. I'm thinking they won't work so well with the ANSI either, though :).

When I say mTelnet, I'm referring to mTCP Telnet. I don't know of any other mTelnet.
Plus one for that idea ;)... As I
type this from an Atari 800XL in 4
0 columns.
Another +1 from another 800XL user :)
I still wonder if I find time to
buy and test Fujinet one day.
Seems like it'd be nice if that was a command line argument. Like mtelnet something to switch to CP437, keeping UTF-8 default.
That guy is on IRC sometimes, I believe. Maybe he'd be open to hearing the
https://github.com/jhpyle/mTCP/?tab=readme-ov-fileIt certainly did resolve a lot of 'issues' which Michael B didn't care about. I have used it myself. Not sure if you have noticed though, it certainly runs slower than Brutman's. Michael himself muttered something a while ago about it being sloppy code/bad loop routine or something of that ilk, I'd have to read my email to find out.
that's my default telnet client for a while. and it also fixed PGUP/DOWN
among many other that Brutman never cared about.
Funny I onced emailed him if he intents to bring ssh client to his bundle he mentioned that PCs he's targeting are not capable of it..
Damn AMIGA has this capability and he's pushing unicode to what... connect modern machines from legacy 286? for what reason...
so long story short. I respect some sort of networking stnadard he introdu to my MSDOS box initially but I don't believe many of his decisions are tr something that this community really needs anymore.
A fork is what I like more for years.
For ASCII though, how do you go about setting it up for 80 col? I've
only ever used it in 40 col.
I reckon the Atari Bob Term had the same feature(s) as the program I
used. Ed

You could connect your Atari to the PC and run Fujinet firmware on that (aka Fujinet-PC). The FTDI usb to ttl modules are like $3-4 on eBay, if that. Here's how I connected mine up, with female to female Dupont jumpers: https://i.imgur.com/Qz20mcE.jpg
With an XEP-80 (or clone made from
a Pi Pico).
It does not. BobsTerm for C= and BobTerm for Atari are totally different programs by different people. I tried BobsTerm and didn't like it much, but I had no idea it had a host mode! I will have to go back to it and see if I can get it to work with a wifi modem.

The only truly disappointing thing about Amiga is how CBM ran the</3
platform into the ground!
I'm kind of doing the inside-out flippidy-doo version of this, my boardbbs gang!
is Ezycom, very legacy-friendly, but I hook on to Mystic to add modern functionality like MRC.
What can we do with BBSes? Sonny Jim, what CAN'T we do?? :D
So, yes, Brutman is going all-in on UTF8 from Jan 2025.
Seems like it'd be nice if that was a command line argument. Like
mtelnet /c or something to switch to CP437, keeping UTF-8 default.

Beautiful - I have both an Atari 400 and a 600 that I need to dive into soon enough. Not sure that either is working well just yet - as I don't get any prompt, or BASIC prompt (alth I think that requires a cart...):DDDDDD
but I [think I] should at least see some prompt/READY/OK output.
Time will tell - I need some carts for those two machines... guess eBay will have to be my friend. :P
That is interesting. I'm on MacOS tho. I need to check if this is Windows
only feature first.
I LOVE 20 FOR BEERS!!! <3

fujinet is based!

who doesn't love 20forbeers?!
I love the aesthetic of the original 800 myself, the XL was just great an all, but the 800 was this massive heavy thing which had a really nice keyboard and those big rom carts (x2), so from a design perspective, 800 wins all day.
What still amazes me is that the 800 and 400 were released in 1979. Some of the stuff they did was way ahead of the computers that were released for many years. Consider the C64, ZX Spectrum, etc etc. Each of those platforms were good in their own way, but they didn't come out until 1982. The Atari had it going on well befoer then!

haha yes they are! I love me my bbs fun.
It's a great place, with lots of lovely people and I can talk to
everyone from my ancient hardware in a way that just works great. It
truly connects the new and the old in a way that nothing else seems to
do. What's not to love for an old luddite like me ? :)
Eitherway FUJInet is wicked cool.THATS WHAT BASED MEANS!!! <3
Eitherway FUJInet is wickedcool.
THATS WHAT BASED MEANS!!! <3
I'm so not up with the modern lingo. I've read comments online before
with 'based' and had no idea what they meant either. I guess 'rizz' is another one?
It had a better keyboard and the case had more style.

The 800XL came with five or so different keyboards. Most of them were definitely not as good as the 800's, but one of them - the ALPS one -
is one of the best keyboards in the world (imo, of course) when nice
and new. Also I'd argue the sleek 80s/futuristic design of the XL was cooler ;).
I'm old-school at the core. I'd still like a pizza box desktop sytem inu 2 huh? <3
rizz is a slang word for charisma
I'm old-school at the core. I'd still like a pizza box desktop sytem in beige/platinum. I don't miss my 21" Sony CRT, though - that thing made
my desk bow in at the middle!
