I'm looking for 3-5 experienced beta testers for Waystone Comm, a keyboard-driven communications terminal for Linux inspired by ProComm Plus and built specifically for people who still connect to BBSes and other remote terminal systems. I'm looking for testers who actively use SSH, Telnet, ANSI BBSes, and classic file transfers...not people who are just curious to try it for a few minutes.
If you're interested, download the latest release from GitHub here: https://github.com/njb1966/waystone-comm
and work through the included smoke test checklist. Please test SSH and Telnet logins to one or more BBSes, ANSI rendering (including ANSI art and doors), Zmodem uploads and downloads, the dialing directory (creating, editing, and grouping entries), saved credentials and entry scripts, and the logging/history features.
When reporting results, please include the BBS or host name, the protocol (SSH/Telnet/etc.) and terminal emulation used, your terminal/window size, what you expected to happen, what actually happened, and, if you encounter rendering or transfer issues, a screenshot or terminal trace if possible. Real-world testing across different systems is exactly what Waystone Comm needs at this stage, and detailed feedback is far more valuable than simply reporting that something works or doesn't.
If you decide to participate, please reach out to me at [admin@njb1966.com](mailto:admin@njb1966.com) with your testing results/questions/concerns. Thanks!!! submitted by /u/Future-AI-Dude [link] [comments]
