SyncTERM — giving a fairly small group of people a huge amount of joy.
Quote adapted from a post on BeeBS by Bob worm
SyncTERM is a BBS terminal program which supports:
- Windows, Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD, OS X, and FreeBSD
- X/Y/ZModem up/downloads
- Full-screen mode on ALL platforms (ALT-Enter switches modes)
- *nix versions using SDL, X11, or curses
- Full ANSI-BBS support
- Full CGTerm Commodore 64 PETSCII support
- Full Atari 8-bit ATASCII support
- DoorWay
- IBM low and high ASCII including the face graphics (☺ and ☻) and card symbols (♥, ♦, ♣, and ♠) which so many other terms have problems with (may not work in curses mode... depends on the terminal being used).
- Phone books
- Multiple screen modes (80x25, 80x28, 80x43, 80x50, 80x60, 132x25, 132x28, 132x30, 132x34, 132x43, 132x50, 132x60)
