termix readme file [12/03/99]
This is a telnet client intended for calling telnet BBSes. It doesn't have all the features of regular default Linux telnet, and it's not supposed to. This version is still just a testdrive, but is functional.
It's intended for console use (what BBSes are designed for), and requires the ncurses library.
Features
- Correct ANSI parsing with proper scrolling for BBSes
- Operates in IBM charset for BBSes
- Emulates DOS linefeeds for BBS compatibility
Planned Features
- More DOS terminal-like features (scrollback, macros, help, directory)
- Zmodem file transfer support
- UI improvements
development notes
There is some Zmodem code in here that I tried to get working with little success (basically using sz/rz and pipes). I'm not an expert Linux coder (I come from mainly a DOS coding environment), and had troubles with this.
Any help would be appreciated.
