I have my c64 and software and my volksmodem 1200 that Still works
fine as a bbs now I know I can emulate the modem to match like a IBM
compatible Hayes modem. Could I use 6485 or CNET on an emulator and in
Linux or under say xp using the most popular 64 emulator. I would love
to simulate the modem inputs in a directly usable way their are
options there, but they elude me I know way to much about landlines,
packet switching, and Telnet I peaked early. C64 guys run the internet

If you're emulating a BBS and you wish to connect to it you may have
more options with trying to use a null modem than a POTS modem.

Yes the pimodem probably easiest I have a 3b running rasbian recallbox
with Kodiak underneath it. Wow phone calls are totally free now. No
codes no packet switching networks you can just call up and fear not.
Now that is truly amazing. I have my original c64 and disks but I've
already found disc images identical to disks I have down to the floppy
name.

Actually the pi project brought me to the wiimodem which has an rs232
port that emulates a modem through the internet and not only will it
work on my emulators but on my commodore 64 and my apple 2gs and my
Mac classic also my Amiga but my dream is to run a CNET bbs with a
boatload of emulated power.
