  1. @bigzaphod When I started #BBSing in the early #1980s on my #Commodore64 the file transfer protocol choices were #XMODEM and #Punter, the latter largely exclusive to #Commodore #BBSes.

    Trivia: XMODEM was invented by Ward Christensen, co-creator of the first #BBS

  2. So what are people using these days to connect to telnet #BBSes? Back in the day I used to use #Telix. And I recall using Telix in OS/2 with Ray Gwinn's SIO driver to connect to #telnet BBSes during the early 2Ks. Anything that can handle ANSI color?
