Hi Deon,
I think i got your message last night, but your sign in went a little wrong (but if you were using viewdata that would explain it).  Want me to set you up with a new username or you could sign in again but with a new account.  I have replied to you on there if you wanted to log on.

If you check the website it tells you how to connect from a pc beebs.ddns.net, basically any terminal emulator.  It's not viewdata, but does send mode 7 colour control codes so can colour text and backgrounds.  When you select if you want mode 7 colour there is assembly language that either strips out these codes and substitutes them with a space or it sends the codes; which results in odd characters on a usual vt100 but displays the correct colours on a BBC (like on the website).  

I had contacted the developer of Icy Term to see if they might be able to add support for this, but looking at the activity on the github page I don' think it's still in active development.

Hope to see you back at some point,
Vela 025
