Re: A modern BBS
There is something for the Commodore computers which did just that. It was PC software, acting as serial to Ethernet bridge basically. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name; I’m trying to find

Re: A modern BBS
There’s a smaller Lynx for DOS called “Links”. I have not tried it but I did download the source for it. It also looks like it’s written in C.

Re: A modern BBS
I just fired up an old copy of Lynx under Win32, and was able to even use Google.? It in no way requires a mouse - it uses key strokes to select the next/previous "clickable" item (or text field).?

Lee, I was just browsing your site with Lynx with no issues.? Obviously it wouldn't render images but that was pretty much the only difference.? Also when selecting a link to a .pdf file Lynx

The classic CP/M approach was two serial port CON: and AUX:.

Re: SIO and Hayesmodem
Good point. I think I have a 512K one because that’s what I had handy – they’re used in many of the Retrobrew ECB and John Monahan’s S100 various boards. I don’t think I have any 62256 chips

Re: SIO and Hayesmodem
What a cute modem!
Rich,? If you switch to using a 32K RAM on your SIO, you won't need to cut and patch any RTS/CTS traces.? Firmware is not making any use of RAM Banks.

Re: SIO and Hayesmodem
Lee,
There is Lynx of course. This is a linux text based browser that renders webpages into text like your vcfmw.org page.
Maybe something like that could be ported to z80 code, if there arent

Re: Captain Video
Hi, Bill,
Perhaps your “pocket-sized Z180 computer” has arrived by now. If so, you may be looking for something to run on it. So here’s a quick “something to send your way”:

They are used in credit card terminals. 2400 baud. Only thing they need besides the normal stuff is a reset signal.

Re: Z180 (was: Captain Video)

but the T-11 had a
