Syncterm windows serial#
Honestly, I feel the best route is picking up an old US Robotics or similar quality modem on eBay and hooking it up through a USB to serial adapter. So I would steer clear of them if you can, even if you are running Windows. Like they would still respond to AT commands, and they would appear to function right in the terminal, but they would never dial. However, they sound much better than the generic winmodems that I used to use. I have not tried the Zoom modems that u/dmine45 mentioned above. Secondly, you can absolutely use a Usb to Serial adapter on Windows or Linux. Because of their design, they will do absolutely nothing on Linux. The winmodems mentioned in the post above will work just fine provided you are on Windows. Keep in mind that this is entirely based on my own experience, so your mileage may vary. I am going to add some corrections to this. If you're serious about getting things set up, send me a DM here, or visit the BBS Corner & Telnet BBS Guide group on Facebook and I can help you there.
Here's a link to the Zoom USB modem if you wish to get one.
Syncterm windows windows 10#
I have successfully used this with SyncTerm and Windows 10 with a laptop! Recently, I bought a Zoom USB modem on Amazon that interestingly enough DOES have a built in controller. Most are of this variety and will NOT work! You may also be able to use a USB to Serial adapter, but I haven't tried this method yet.īe careful you don't buy a "Winmodem" which means that it does NOT have a controller built in. I have a USR Courier modem from 1996 that still works and this is primarily how I call BBSes, using Telix and DOSBOX. For the software, I have used both modern SyncTerm and also using old school Telix for DOS in DOSBOX.Īs far as a modem is concerned, you can either use an external modem via a serial port (some ASUS motherboards still have them, but you need to buy the actual serial port jack) or you can use a USB modem. I have done this two ways with Windows 10. There are several ways to get on the very few Dial-up BBSes these days.
