Hello Conrad :)

 cjk> machines, kept screen line #25 free for payload and had a mostly

Hmmm ... which part did I miss? I worked closely with Stanislav to get this 
stuff properly implemented, but maybe I forgot something?

 cjk> Ward now brought me

 cjk> DOSBox.

Cool!

 cjk> JoHo seems to work on the same thing, but I'm not so sure whether
 cjk> or not this means FD is in development again.

Actually, it does mean that. There's a lot of stuff to port, before I can begin 
adding features. But that time will come.

 cjk> Using FD term in DOSBox gets me disconnected on most Telnet BBSs

 cjk> transfer a single block.

Have you tried Janis Kracht's system(s)? Or Mark Lewis?

Have you tried other FOSSILs?
