The ADCM BBS was written for the ADCM Pocket Modem. The BBS includes a command driven interface, private and public messages, file transfers, support for up to 255 users, and supports up to 500 baud.  More information and images are available here

The BOT Pocket MODEM is what Spectraview-I used. A cable Co. office could dial up the head end at the towers and dishes and edit the text on the Atari that displays their current events, channel list, weather, etc.

 

*Very* electrostatic sensitive. I had many of these come back as defective after lightning strikes and storms.

 

They will go up to 450 baud, IIRC.

 

Nice little modem.

 

Funny... I found the software via google and didnt even remember the mention here.. i’m Getting old, and i drink too much beer. :) 

 

doesnt look like anything terribly special - but what a gem to find another (to me) completely unknown bbs software for the 8bit.. leaves me feeling like I always have - that there is plenty left to be found in the way of BBS/term/hacking/phreaking/diskxfer type apps as lots of it was regional...
