Yeah I would trust that Syncterm would be about 98-99% accurate.

I would but I will pass this request on to Al (Bucko) as such a setup does
exist thanks to him. Bucko and I were talking this morning and he suggested to
use his Image BBS setup that we had for download on my website.  How ever he
is happy to get you setup with a modified version of that which would include
the Terminal software and no BBS as you don't need that. LOL.  It is so easy
to use, launch the bat file and before you know it your up and running on a
Commodore 64 or 128 (for 80 column support) with full telnet ability using a
commodore bbs terminal software like CGTerm.

I know Bucko will have better details for you when he chimes in on here later
but he is already thinking ahead to make sure you have a true test bed!
