I just came across a BBS which is accessed with telnet. While the stock telnet in Xterm works, has anyone come across a front end or something with a few more features? A search at sourceforge didn't show anything for Linux.

I haven't looked at this package at all, but it appeared on freshmeat.net yesterday and its description seems to match what you're looking for. From the home page: "gtermix is a gtk+ telnet client intended for calling BBSes. It utilizes a custom VGA textmode emulating terminal widget that allows it to accurately render bulletin board systems as they were in DOS terminal programs." http://gtermix.sourceforge.net/ -- ** Scott Allen scotta-cpI+UMyWUv9BDgjK7y7TUQ at public.gmane.org ** ** Toronto, Ontario, Canada ** -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
