Reading and seeing "Bob Term" made me think about a C=64 program I used called
Bobs Term Pro.

It had a BBS like option in it.
I got a floppy disc from someone that had a IBM PC text file I could read on
the XT we had at work, and I wanted toread it on my home C=64.

One night before I left home to go to work I Ran Bob's Term Pro and had it set
to answer a phone call also asked the wife to not answer the phone since I
wanted to get that PC  .TXT file sent to my computer as a SEQ file.

I reckon the Atari Bob Term had the same feature(s) as the program I used.
