The BBS was in New Jersey and the name had something to do with the Canadian group RUSH.

I had a state-of-the-art 486 33MHz PC at the time running MS-DOS 6.22. Have you ever tried running this program in pure DOS? I sure have. Running it in MS-DOS 6.22, however, the graphics were translated quite accurately. Running it in Windows XP, the graphics were not translated correctly, as you described. I've run this program both in MS-DOS 6.22 as well as a DOS window from within Windows XP. Wiskow wrote:As for your problem with seeing the PETSCII graphics using C64term. Both work flawlessly with either modem in a DOS window. I tested two other DOS comm programs - Procomm Plus 2 for DOS and Telemate 4.12, two very popular comm programs released about the same time as C64TERM. Yes, I tried the /noems, /nomouse, /nofifo, and /bios options. The CPU usage rockets when I attempt to send any AT commands to either modem and the send/receive lights on the external modem show no activity.

I have a Pentium 4 with XP PRO Service Pack 2 and two modems:ġ) Supra V.34 external connected to COM1 via RS232 serial cableĢ) Internal V.92 win modem which has created it's own virtual com port (COM3).Ĭ64TERM will not communicate with either one when I launch it from a DOS window. I just tried running C64TERM in XP after reading this thread. The BBS eventually went offline so the need for C64TERM died with it.

He called with MultiTerm and when I saw what the graphics were supposed to look like I dumped C64TERM and reverted to calling that BBS in ASCII mode. The only way I knew how badly this displayed commodore graphics was by visiting a buddy of mine who still had his 64C. Most of what I saw for commodore graphics came up as gibberish rendering some of the messages in the bases unreadable. It duplicates most colors and attributes (blinking, reverse) but you will not see any PETSCII graphics - only a very, very rough approximation of their ANSI equivalents. What this program basically does is translate (poorly) PETSCII > ANSI. I stumbled upon C64TRM5B and decided to call and see how it looked. I can't remember the name but it wasn't local to me and since I didn't have my 128 anymore I called very infrequently using a DOS com prog (Telemate) in ASCII mode. All the BBSes in my area were ANSI but there was one that was run on a C128. I remember using this term in the early 90's when BBS'ing was still popular. Of course, if all else fails, just call using any ASCII-capable terminal program. It's also possible to call using the Commodore terminal program of your choice from within VICE. I thought this information might be useful to people wanting to call Borderline BBS who don't have Commodore hardware to call with. Be sure you know what COM port your modem is running on, and set the config for the terminal to use the same port. The best thing is to just try it out and see if you can get it to work. Some have had success running this from a DOS window from within Windows. External modems work best most 'WinModems' will not work. Unfortunately, not all modems are supported with this program.

However, Greg Pfountz, the author of the software that I'm running on my dial-up board, also wrote a terminal program for MS-DOS in 1991 called the C64 Color Terminal Emulator. Unfortunately, it's a Telnet-only program, so it can't be used for dial-up connections.

CGTERM by Per Olofsson is an excellent Commodore Graphic terminal emulator which runs in Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
