I'm just musing right now, but I've found out about software people use to connect to Telnet-based BBSes with C64s, and I was wondering if anyone knew of similar software for a PC to feed an Apple ][ comm port to a Telnet service like that, like "ATD cyberspace.org:23" or such.

With your Apple term program and a shell account at your ISP, just drop into the shell's UNIX prompt, and type in telnet youraddress <RETURN/ENTER>. You will arrive at the telnet BBS of your desires. :-)

That's not an option if your ISP is Verizon DSL, and you don't have any Linux boxen handy. :-( (Trying to get to a telnet-based *x shell with my //e) I should have mentioned I'm running Windoze 2K on the computer with the line.
