Bulletin board system

1 Unless a caller was using terminal emulation software written for, and

running on, the same type of system as the BBS, the session would simply

fall back to simple ASCII output


Bulletin board system

1 For those more nostalgic for the true BBS experience, one can use

NetSerial (Windows) or DOSBox (Windows/*nix) to redirect DOS COM

port software to telnet, allowing them to connect to Telnet BBSes

using 1980s and 1990s era modem terminal emulation software, like Telix, Terminate, Qmodem and

Procomm Plushttps://store.theartofservice.com/the-terminal-emulation-toolkit.html

Computer terminal Technical discussion

1 In recent years, the general switching of users to GUI has lessened the attention paid to

terminal-handling libraries and to terminal emulation, and almost stalled the debugging efforts.

notable was the integration of its terminal emulation module with the spreadsheet module, allowing users dialing into corporate mainframes to

have onscreen reports be parsed directly into spreadsheet columns for

later editing and refinement.

event loop system, including HTTP (a simple web server), SMTP (simple mail

transmission protocol), FTP (file transfer protocol), telnet (terminal emulation), and others. Despite the examples and its small

size, uIP 0.9 can be difficult to apply because it does not use any form of socket API.See Dunkel's original web site, above,

on the wayback machine.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-terminal-emulation-toolkit.html

PC-MOS/386

1 PC/MOS terminals could be x86 computers running Terminal emulator|terminal emulation

software communicating at 9600 or 19200 baud, connected via serial

cables. Speeds above this required specialist hardware boards which increased cost, but the speed was

not a serious limitation for interacting with text-based

programs.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-terminal-emulation-toolkit.html

Data General - Dasher Terminals

1 Most Data General software was written specifically for their own terminals (or the terminal emulation built into the Desktop

Generation DG10, but the Data General One built-in terminal emulator is not often

suitable), although software using Data General Business BASIC could be more flexible in terminal handling, because

logging into a Business BASIC system would initiate a process whereby the terminal type

would be (usually) auto-detected.
