    hello Ben , I am in glasgow and run a BBS called night Owl, you can check into it now using latest version of SyncTerm. it's a Viewdata board like Prestel wasin it's heyday and runs on a BBCmaster, via a Pi modem.

    cheers

    Howdy Brian,

    hello Ben , I am in glasgow and run a BBS called night Owl, you can check into it now using latest version of SyncTerm. it's a Viewdata board like Prestel wasin it's heyday and runs on a BBCmaster, via a Pi modem.

    Its awesome there is another videotex service online :)

    I'd forgotten that I logged in, but when I reloaded Syncterm (been talking with Deuce who has fixed up some Prestel rendering), I saw it in there in my phone book.

    Syncterm should now be the term emulator for Prestel/Videotex BBSes - he's got the emulating working perfectly. I'll now need to add more frames to my BBS now that its easier to get to it... :)

    ■ Synchronet ■ AnsiTEX bringing back videotex but with ANSI
    Hi Deon , sorry late reply on this .. I am not so familiar with the larger networks. Yes SyncTerm is fantastic. I am yet to use it but it is great we haveit. I still need to sort out a download for the Pi. But I am afraid I will makea pigs ear of it. Will do eventually hopefully. Need to check into AnsiTex
    again. Has anything changed over there recently?

    Brian
