Best terminals for Windows 98? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CaelThunderwing · 2019-06-08 03:57 some tell me im trapped in the past with how i keep a few vintage machines, i just tell em off (just some things you cant do in Dosbox + its a much better experience to use period hardware <3) Anyway.. ​ After loading all the games and most of the apps i wanted/needed on my new 98 Desktop, i wanted to get back into BBS'ing. 2 i see alot from a quick search recommend were Telemate and Telix, just one small problem.. \*I Dont have Landline phone\* so i need a decent terminal program that'll work over a standard Ethernet Network connection (the windows 98 install has been outfitted w/ U98SESP3 & KernelEX so that may open op choices anything like say using dotNET3+ or such , its a no go.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- scrutinizer80 · 2019-06-08 10:37 ZOC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- socmunky · 2019-06-08 10:42 Netrunner. ZOC is good stuff too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-06-08 13:43 Do these support ansi and stuff? Currently using a DOS terminal but a Windows one would be nice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-06-08 13:44 You can make yourself a wifi modem for $10 and use any terminal software you want. I use one and Terminate 5 on DOS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tele-arena · 2019-06-08 14:10 mTelnet was my choice for regular BBSing: http://mt32.bbses.info/ For MUD-style games I preferred Mud Master: https://sites.google.com/site/mudmast/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- socmunky · 2019-06-08 15:13 They both do yes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PetrichorMemories · 2019-06-08 15:55 Older versions of PuTTY work on Windows 98. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CharlieBrown197 · 2019-06-08 16:49 Another vote for mTelnet. Also, don't discredit Hyperterminal for Modem use as much as people do.
