#FujiNet: Extending Netcat into full comm program.
Anyone want to come together on writing a better #atari8bit terminal program for #FujiNet?
While we can use BobTerm and the like, those classic terminal programs have their limitations.
The N: device has none of these.
the N: device can talk a wide variety of protocols, and is packet based, so no dropped characters. It's also very fast, running at whatever the current SIO rate is (so high speed SIO can speed it up).
The FujiNet also has a very large receive and transmit buffer (up to 65535 characters for both, currently.)
So taking netcat, adding a dialing directory would be a good start.
Attached is a short vid demo of netcat.

Sure, Im in for building out netcat.. Seems we can place a bunch of features into a nice compact and lightweight N: term program.. Attract a few more FujiNet users to the BBS'es.. Yup, I'm in..
