  • RetroModem Bridge now has a local door mode. It lets my CoCo 3 connect through the serial port and launch local door games from the Windows app, almost like dialing into a BBS door, but without needing a full BBS setup.

    Some of the current features:
    • Serial-to-TCP modem bridge for vintage computers
    • ATDT dialing from a real terminal program
    • Built-in BBS directory with 900+ Telnet BBS entries
    • Dial aliases so you can use short names instead of full hostnames
    • COM port and baud rate selection
    • Modem-style status lights and live log
    • Telnet filtering and line control options
    • Built-in terminal with ANSI support
    • New local door mode for launching door games locally from the Windows app • Tested with Usurper Reborn on my CoCo 3 through the Deluxe RS-232 Pak
    The new door mode is not really a full BBS. It is more like a local door launcher that lets the CoCo 3 connect through serial and play a local door game from the Windows side. submitted by /u/tqdomains [link] [comments]
