On the Spanish Retrowiki web page they have thought about implementing a BBS. But Retrowiki is a multi-computer web, not like this one, so they are at the same time thinking a way to easy connect every model. This is easy on Serial port provided computers, or by means of add-ons or hacks, but the hard side of the idea is to implement a form of VT100 emulator on computers never used to do BBS.

I have read here about the VT100/Prestel Rom planed for the EP320, never realised, but also about an "Enterprise BBS" run on Holland connecting the computers to Telephone Modem. ¿What applications where used?, ¿May be CP/M apps?

Now, in Retrowiki they plan to use a PC as the intermediate to the WWW, using cheap USB to RS232 adapters.

BBS was very popular for Amiga and Atari ST owners, but also for C64 and CPC ones.

I have found a page with the most used CPC application, AnsiTerm, with the binary, source and disks included.

It would be a must to be able of some sort of communication with our loved computers....

Thanks!  I will put here what I would find.

I feel a little strange reading the conversations through BBS dated in 1988 between Werner Lidnner(Enterprise GMB), Andy Burnham(Datquip Electronics and also Paintbox writer), Søren Rasmussen(software developer) and Finn Stadel Nielsen(Bugtronics).....

They talk about the development of the Serial-Modem card, but also about other technical or private topics.

They even do a good mention about A-Studio....






Edit: There is another very popular Andy Burnham, politician of the Labour Party, actually governor at Manchester.
