syncterm (BBS-oriented terminal emulator)
|
|
|
|
syncterm is a terminal emulator that connects to a host via
|
|
dialup modem, raw TCP, telnet, ssh, or rsync. 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:

More information on BBSes can be found here, along with an up-to-date

Note: If you're upgrading from syncterm 1.1 to 1.3, your old config
|
|
files in ~/.syncterm are no longer used. Syncterm will remind you of
|
|
this when it starts up. To keep using your config files from 1.1:
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/syncterm/
|
|
$ mv ~/.syncterm/* ~/.config/syncterm/
