  • Got my X-surf500 hooked up to my ACA500Plus. Drivers are installed and device is online.

    I want to get on some BBS's. What terminal program is compatible? (With ANSI support for Amiga BBS's)

    I tried NComm and it just gave me some errors about missing libraries.

  • Based on this enquiry I went looking, and had a play around with DCTelnet. Select the HyperAnsi font (included) for it and (telnet) BBS away with your X-Surf-500.

  • I just wanted to close this thread and provide an update in case anyone else is looking.....


    I had tried DCTelnet and eventually figured out that it is for 68020 and up cpus, Once I get an accelerator I will try it again.

    But on the 68000 I have found that Term 4.8 works good. (And recommended by the Absinthe BBS that I visit often)

    I also downloaded and installed the Topaz+1200 font and installed into workbench/Term 4.8.


    One trick we discovered for anyone else looking at this was to use a comma instead of a semi colon for port number
