Its user interface is +similar to ProComm. It's intended for use with BBSes (bulletin board +systems), and includes support for nonstandard ASCII variants such as +Atari 8-bit (ATASCII), Commodore 8-bit (PETSCII), and "IBM ANSI" as +used by MS-DOS. + +syncterm can also be used as a local terminal (e.g. like xterm), +by creating a dialing list entry with address "shell:", command +"/bin/bash -login" or similar. + +Some of the documentation is found only on the website: +http://syncterm.bbsdev.net/ + +More information on BBSes can be found here, along with an up-to-date +list of telnet BBSes: +https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/ + +Atari users can download a sycterm.lst full of Atari BBSes here: +http://sfhqbbs.org/ataribbslist.php |
