Hey there is nothing wrong with Syncterm, its a great terminal!

If Syncterm supports it I would use it to test with, but at some point it needs to be put through the motions with actual hardware (if possible).  I don't want to assume that Syncterm would be 100% perfect in its emulation (although it very well could be).

Could you recommend a Windows C64 or C128 emulator and terminal software for the Commodore that could be used to telnet into a Mystic BBS from the emulator?  Does such a setup exist?  This would be my ideal testing platform and then I can have someone on real hardware give it a shot once I think I have it right.

That wouldn't be out of the question, although NetRunner is my neglected child so it could take a while lol
