Ten Year Rule

You may be able to still use one of the later Fido releases on your Rainbow via FOSSIL driver. Opus might also work via FOSSIL. You can use tcpser to handle the inbound/outbound interface. I use that program for the interface to the Apple IIe board I run. The IIe thinks there's a Hayes Smartmodem on the other end. I don't know if Jim has had time to integrate my WILLDO ECHO patch to tcpser though. (without it, the telnet client does it's own echoing which rreessuullttss iinn tthhiiss....)) .... I just did a bit of digging and yes, you can run Opus on the Rainbow. The following link has both Opus and the FOSSIL driver for the Rainbow (ODEC_301.LZH): http://www.sentry.org/~trev/opus/173files.html If you head over to http://cd.textfiles.com/kirkscom9409/msdos/bbs/fido/ you can download Fido v12U configured for FOSSIL use. (F12U_FSL.ZIP) If you need any help, just holler. :) Telnet to aor.retroarchive.org if you're feeling _really_ nostalgic. *laughs* g.
