Actually, I popped up the XP telnet window and logged onto your virtual BBS
and everything worked great.
Now, if I can only figure out a way to channel the stdin/stdout of the
telnet window into my NetMate terminal emulator running in M.E.S.S. This
would allow me to test the program since I have reassembled it from stray
parts. I do remember that I coded my ANSI driver on many tests, using
BBSes, college VAX machines (mostly VT-100 there), and going by the specs
for the full ANSI emulation.
Another idea would be to redirect the stdin/stdout of the telnet window
through the parallel or serial port on the PC, so the CoCo can be hooked up
to the connection.
