Fire up you capture buffer and head over to telnet://cqbbs.ddns.net:6502!

microM8 now emulates ProTerm 3.1 properly, which has ANSI support, and makes many many BBSes far more useable than they were before.

Or use Telnet65 (https://github.com/oliverschmidt/ip65/wiki/Telnet65) with
any „modern“ Apple II Ethernet card - eiter real or emulated (AppleWin or
GSport).

It would be great if Telnet65 would support Proterm Special Emulation!

This works very slick! Is there a way to quit ProTerm and get back to the main menu?
