    I know I'll most likely be crucified for this, but it's running Windows 10. I know, it sucks, I just haven't been bothered to switch to someting more useable. The PC itself is custom-built, and I don't think I can remember most of the hardware names off the top of my head.

    Anyway, I'm assuming it doesn't have extended ASCII because when I try to
    view the BBS on it, a lot of the fancy art doesn't display right if at all. I might just be missing something, I'll keep checking.

    Windows 10 and your PC isn't the problem. It sounds like you're just not using a capable terminal program. Try one of these (I recommend SyncTERM):

    It should be able to support extended ASCII (Windows has for a long time). Make sure you're using a BBS-friendly terminal client. Some terminal clients don't support displaying high-ASCII characters. What telnet/terminal client are you using? Some that I like are SyncTerm and NetRunner, and there was also a 3rd that I think is decent but don't remember the name offhand..

    mtel32 was the one I was trying to think of. Those 3 are probably my favorites for telnet BBS access.

    The thing i liked best about mtel and netrunner is they handle animated ansi well and have built in zmodem file xfers that actually work with your pc and bbs they way it used to be...

    Syncterm was introduced to me long after so I already have my habits but it is equally a good terminal program.

    Were there other BBS terminal programs that you tried that didn't handle zmodem as well?

    Syncterm was introduced to me long after so I already have my habits but it is equally a good terminal program.

    SyncTerm was one of the first telnet BBS terminals I used, and I stuck with it, as it does what I need. Also, it seems SyncTerm is noticeably a little faster at rendering ANSI than netrunner and mtel. I like that netrunner and metel look a little more like a traditional modem communication program though.

    And as far as the protocols, it's handy that they support x/y/zmodem built in. Back in the 90s, I used to like to experiment with external protocols, but it seems that's mostly irrelevant with internet BBSes.

    It's a matter of preference. Netrunner has the better display, but I prefer how SyncTerm works. Two things that make me choose SyncTerm over Netrunner
    re:

    1. When there's an existing file with the same name as the one you're downloading, SynTerm opens a dialog asking me what I want to do (overwrite, rename or resume), while Netrunner does the more traditional resume. The problem with assuming a resume is I've corrupted heaps of QWK packets that way, because I'd forget I already had an unread or partially read packet, then go and download another. With SyncTerm, I can compensate for my brain farts much more easily. :)

    2. SyncTerm lets me pick the file to upload on the fly, more like a traditional terminal like Telix. However, Netrunner's upload queue is convenient when all you do is handle REP packets. But it's more likely to catch me out.

    So it boils down to how you prefer doing things.

    I also found that Netrunner will automatically put you in RIP emulation if it gets the message from the BBS that it supports RIP. For some BBSs (like Particles), this causes problems because the Sysop didn't set up RIP on his BBS. And there was no way to disable this "feature" in Netrunner.

    I can just tell it's noticeably faster. I'm not sure I'd want to make a video right now, IMO it's just not that big of a deal to me. I haven't used NetRunner in a while either, so perhaps they're about the same.

    It's a matter of preference. Netrunner has the better display, but I prefer how SyncTerm works. Two things that make me choose SyncTerm over Netrunner

    I also found that Netrunner will automatically put you in RIP emulation
    if it gets the message from the BBS that it supports RIP. For some
    BBSs (like Particles), this causes problems because the Sysop didn't
    set up RIP on his BBS. And there was no way to disable this "feature"
    in Netrunner.

    I didn't know that, handy to know in the event I get to log into a RIP capable BBS.

    Interesting.. I didn't know NetRunner supported RIP.

    Neither did I. I'm going to have to look into this being a big fan of RIP. I use Netrunner daily because I perfer it's fullscreen ability over Syncterm. I dunno about being faster though. Both are darn fast on my machine.

    I think you're getting your terminal software mixed up Dr.What. Particles BBS is an old BBS that ran on a C-64. You're probably seeing "Commodore Graphics" known as CG Mode. Syncterm supports it so maybe you called Paritcles BBS with Syncterm? Netrunner only supports Ansi screens so seeing RIP screens with it is pretty much impossible. In fact Particles is on port 6400 which Netrunner does not support either. Of course it's possible to see anything when smoking some very potent weed. ;-)

    can you do a video comparing the two? why do you think syncterm is faster? shouldnt it atleast be the same as netrunner because they use sdl2?

    I can just tell it's noticeably faster. I'm not sure I'd want to make a video right now, IMO it's just not that big of a deal to me. I haven't used NetRunner in a while either, so perhaps they're about the same.



    okay but it just takes 2 seconds to record a video.
    you are saying some things about other products that might steer people away from them so atleast show some proof. you've also said it multiple times.

    I just had a quick look at that. It looks like it records the entire screen - I'm not sure if there's a way to just record part of the screen if you want to. With Fraps, you could highlight just a part of the screen you wanted to record to video. I'm using a 4K monitor at home now, and I'm not sure it would be ideal to capture the entire 4K screen for a video of a BBS telnet client (I could change my screen resolution for the recording, but I'm not sure that's ideal either). I can look into it, but may end up using Fraps or the recorder Digital Man mentioned.

    If the BBS you connect to doesn't support ANSI you're going to have a difficult time no matter what software you use. I'd be happy to direct you to some very fine "ANSI" Synchronet BBS'es.

It says RIP detected and spews out some funky characters but after that it's all ANSI which Netrunner does a very nice job rendering in my opinion. I think it's pretty cool the BBS is connected to Usenet. This bbs reminds me of a much simpilar time when everthing worked.

    Why are you replying with ANSI garbage in a non-ANSI message

    any ports.... It dials/connects the way you tell it to. Using

    Ummmmm, no. I haven't dialed over a phone line in many years
    either. Irrelevant to this discussion. YOU were talking about
    connecting to a port (6400) with Netrunner.

    Why'd you snip out all the connection/port examples I included?
    Don't want to admit you don't know what you're doing?

    Again, Netrunner will connect to any port you tell it to. If
    you're unable to grasp the concept of the "phone book", try using
    Alt-I and type in any address you want, right there, including the
    port to connect to.

    Like this: bbs.whatever.net:6400

    It really is quite simple.

    this is incorrect... in netrunner, when you put in the address to connect to, if it is on a different port than the default, you simply add it to the domain with a colon...

    Thanks for that. I've used Qodem and Syncterm for years and both have a seperate port setting field. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. That said Netruner does not support Rip which is was what started this thread.

    I also found that Netrunner will automatically put you in RIP emulation if it gets the message from the BBS that it supports RIP. For some BBSs (like Particles), this causes problems because the Sysop didn't set up RIP on his BBS. And there was no way to disable this "feature" in Netrunner.

    I can just tell it's noticeably faster. I'm not sure I'd want to mak
    a video right now, IMO it's just not that big of a deal to me. I
    haven't used NetRunner in a while either, so perhaps they're about th
    same.

    okay but it just takes 2 seconds to record a video.
    you are saying some things about other products that might steer peo away from them so atleast show some proof. you've also said it multi times.

    I don't have any software installed to record screen video right now. I used to use Fraps for recording my screen, maybe I should install it agai and
    make a recording.

    I use and recommend OBS:

    Wrong! I use Netrunner and it support's all BBS ports
    I use it to connect to my Raspberry Pi BBS on port 2300 razzpie.ddns.net:2300

    I haven't used it in a long time. 2 yrs maybe.
    I can't recall but I think it came with the last version of Synchronet that I update to. I really don't remember.

    I just remember being impressed that the ANSI rendering was spot on.
    yeah it was perfect on a windows system. I'm going to test in a few days on a linux system. That was where i had issues in the past.

    And yea it was over 2 years ago for me, although it seems like last year. I look back at when I downloaded it, and ... it was longer ago than I thought.

    i told you how with windows.

    Easy to do, also you can use problem steps recorder. The long lost troubleshooting tool.

    on the keyboard press the windows key (or click start, and type run)
    in the run field type:
    psr
    hit enter on the keyboard.


    now you can record your issues.

    however there is a limitation, you may want to adjust.
    on the far right of the little problem steps recorder window there is a down facing triangle.
    click that!
    go to settings
    adjust the "Number of recent screen captures to store "
    the default is 25, but you may need more.

    Yeah, I like the nostalgia too. I seem to remember reading though that zmodem isn't really the most efficient way to transfer files over telnet, and may even have some problems with internet connections (perhaps due to the nature of IP or PPP?).

    Back in the day, I also liked configuring external 3rd-party protocols (such as BiModem, Puma/MPT, etc.). I configured them both for my terminal software and my BBS so users could use them. And because they were external, they'd have to launch an external program and wouldn't display within the terminal app.. But it was cool to watch.

    I remember my rational for doing it - it was all about getting traffic sent faster, so that the phone line would be freed. (Or long distant calls would be reduced.) I seem to recall that there was a lot of information or claims on how a new protocol was more efficient - and it was if it sent that byte faster :) ...ëîå*

    You seem very confused. A terminal app/dialer doesn't "support"
    any ports.... It dials/connects the way you tell it to. Using
    Netrunner (address book) you can just put in something like:

    bbs.whatever.net:24

    I ran a version of Terminate under DOSBox using my WiMmodem232 for a bit. The only issue was the length of the "phone number" field. Sometimes it was too small for some of the BBSs.

    Other than that, it worked fine.

    i have not noticed syncterm working faster than netrunner or
    mtelnet.

    can you do a video comparing the two? why do you think syncterm is faster? shouldnt it atleast be the same as netrunner because they use sdl2?

    I was going to record a video, but on my current PC, they all seem fairly fast. I recently built a new PC, and on my new PC, any difference in speed between SyncTerm, NetRunner, or mTelnet is hardly (if at all) noticeable to me. On my older PCs though, I seem to remember noticing a slight difference in speed.

    I recently built a new PC, and on my new PC, any difference in speed between SyncTerm, NetRunner, or mTelnet is hardly (if at all) noticeable to me. On older PCs though, I seem to remember noticing a slight difference in speed.


    i bet you it was some weird videocard performance bottleneck.

    I suppose it's possible.

    BBSing for me is removing myself from the endless gourmet of the internet - I want to stay within the BBS using BBS technologies, not go off and load up my browser and go to some FTP site - only to see my bookmarks and the 'F' of FTP bring up Facebook as a URL suggestion!

    I use FTP as part of an updated suite of tools. With Synchronet, I can ftp QWK packets to my DOSBOX, where I run an instance of MultiMail and Qedit, just like I used to use back in the 90s. When I'm done, I close DOSBOX and use FTP to upload the .rep packet to the BBS.

    It's the best of both worlds.

    Nice. Here, I use pop3 and a very brief tethering to my phone to bring in email - text only. It gives me the reassurance that nothing has blown up that I'm unaware of, whilst managing my email in a slightly old-fashioned semi-offline way. I suppose this is my equivalent of mixing in some internet technology for the better. Just to prove I'm not a complete luddite!*

    * Note a couple of years ago I was fully immersed in Twitter, Slack, FB, daily hours on Youtube, Coursera, EdX. 15 years ago - all day on IRC, usenet. So I know what I'm "missing"!

    i told you how with windows.

    Easy to do, also you can use problem steps recorder. The long lost troubleshooting tool.

    on the keyboard press the windows key (or click start, and type run)
    in the run field type:


    this looks like a great program. i never knew about it. i dont think
    it records video.

    i'm certainly going to use it next time someone tells me "it doesn't
    work" ---

    It was showcased in windows XP, but then it lost its buzz not long after, but its a good tool for showing simple steps about problems.
    No video .. sadly so video, but that means smaller file sizes.

    I think gamebar as mentioned before is probably the tool for video recordings.

    snaggit if you got the cash will work as well. I haven't used opensource once on windows though, so I can't talk about those.

    I'm not sure why, but it seems all of your messages lately have ANSI codes
    in
    the first few lines that show the subject, from, and to. It seems my message reader is having a hard time dealing with it, because it messes
    up
    the rest of the message.. Do you have ANSI codes enabled in your sub-board
    s
    ettings in SCFG?

    so THAT's why everything comes out in that cruddy dark cyan and doesn't change back when writing a new message... at least not until some other code is run which resets the colors... damned annoying at times :P

    I use multimail and that seems to work pretty well. .. accept for decoding what's above.

    multimail if offline messaging... i'm actually attempting to use the BBS experiance unlike my past several decades of using only a sysop editor to access the message bases from outside of the BBS ;)

    When I see "sysop editor", I think it's something that edits the sysop..? Then I see you mean a message editor for the sysop. :P
