DrWoo Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I recently received a Retro WiFi SI to serial adaptor and I'm looking for some help on locating some good terminal emulation software. I was able to find TAZ, however in ansi mode it gives me a headache with all the flicker. I've read that STalker and ANSITerm are both good to, however I can not find a version of either that isn't a demo ware. Happy to pay for a version of either, but it looks like they are abandonware. Also I'm looking for some Atari Telnet BBS recommendations. Best Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWoo Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 I really appreciate the help. Thanks again. Unfortunately the STalker link doesn't work and it's also only demo. I was hoping someone know where to get a working copy of it. Best Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nezgar Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 BITD I heavily used: - Freeze Dried Terminal - AnsiTerm - STalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlgrooms Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I am getting a 520stfm tomorrow and already have a gotek drive I use with my Amigas. Would like to use it with the stfm. Can anyone point me to .st disk image files? Like one for terminal software? Want to use my Wimodem32 with it also but won't have any software to start with. Any suggestions appreciated.

JamesWD Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) I've just got a WiModem so playing again with all the terminal stuff again from my youth. IMO if you want something to run fast on a bog standard ST I would use Uniterm. For a faster ST/TT/Falcon then using a lovely fully windowed 'terminal' - Connect95 or Connect97.

tlgrooms Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Can you point me to where I might find disk images of these? I have a gotek I am trying to setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I'm sorry, I can not. I don't have any of the GOTEK devices or such so I never needed those images. I've always preferred mass storage devices such as the Ultrasatan. With a quick Google search, I did find these: Ansi ST v0.40 (1994-05-07)(Uncensored Software).zip Flash v1.60 (1986)(Antic).zip Hope this helps... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I'm in the middle of getting some made. I should have at least one in a couple of minutes. I have some job interviews (as the hiring guy) at 2:30 and 3 (2:15 now) so I might only get one actually shot out to you, but I can get more after work. It will be Freeze Dried and AnsiTerm on one image. I can probably grab DarkLords too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 @tlgrooms Ok.... Sorry about the delay... The interview time had arrived and then we needed the extra time to talk about the candidates and the mandatory obligatory complaining about the general state of the world. I made two images, each with 2 programs... So one contains AnsiTerm 1.90 and Freeze Dried Term 2.2, the second is Taz 1.00 and Vanterm 3.8 You can download them here.. http://www.sfhqbbs.org/resources.php You can also find the Atari BBS list at the same site.... http://www.sfhqbbs.org/ataribbslist.php (the ST ones are marked, including one... NRG, at the bottom in the "new" section). I'll try to get some others up later tonight or tomorrow... including the ones DarkLord just posted and InterLink (which kinda supports Atascii) if I can remember where I put my original disk. I don't use any kind of floppy emulation on my real machines, but I tried the images out briefly on Hatari to make sure they converted ok from MSA. Let me know if you have issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlgrooms Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Thank you so much both DarkLord and Tellek. I really appreciate it. I'm going to get one of the hard drive emulators soon that will make things much easier. I have been on your bbs DarkLord. Looks good. I am mtnclimber there. Also thanks so much for the Atari BBS list. I have been on several with my 130xe/800xl and just starting with the ST. Edited February 14 by tlgrooms Added bbs list thanks.

VT52 itself is sub standard and of little value once you've downloaded AnsiTerm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Ah, I agree that ANSITerms' output is awesome. I think I like it best of the ANSI supporting term packages I've tried. However. I'm not a fan of it's interface. It seems clunky and clumsy to me. In which case, DarkForce!'s screens seen through Flash, TAZ, FDT, CoNnect, etc, is appealing to me... Let's do a quick comparison. First, an ANSI screen from DarkForce! : Now the same screen, but in VT52 : 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikerbob Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Since this seems to have turned in a ST bbs posting thread. Dont forget bbsclubhouse.ddns.net:1040 - Bikerbob's Clubhouse thesybariteorg.sytes.net:420 - The Sybarite Organization Both ST software - both running on real ST hardware (As are both Darkforce and SFHQ) As for terminal software - I am a fan of Freeze Dried Terminal myself for all the features etc.. does great with ANSI. As mentioned above, the only two I am having troubles getting working well are Connect95/97 .. not sure why. might just be the interface.
