BBS terminal programs - amtelnet & dctelnet
« on: October 31, 2025, 09:58:53 AM »
Hi all, I've been setting up winuae to connect to the internet, emulating a1200 using winuae's bsd.socket library.
iBrowse works so that's all ok.. but I have a couple of questions about the telnet clients dctelnet and amtelnet..

With dctelnet, I can apparently connect, but don't get any response from BBSs (and I know they're up because they work from host computer) .. oddly, just after it's made the connection the mouse starts really lagging. If I hit Disconnect, the mouse returns to normal..

So I tried Amtelnet and I like the look of it better, but it's got a 15 minute timeout and the registration site vapor.com is gone to domain squatters.

Does anyone know how I can get a reg code for amtelnet or contact the developer?

Or any ideas about the issues with dctelnet?

thanks
