Agreed. NetRunner, Syncterm, and even the old Mtel32 works great.

mtel32 was the one I was trying to think of. Those 3 are probably my favorites for telnet BBS access.

When I got back into BBSing in 2007, another one I found was ZOC. It seemed to work decently from what I remember, but it was shareware.

The thing i liked best about mtel and netrunner is they handle animated ansi well and have built in zmodem file xfers that actually work with your pc and bbs they way it used to be...

Syncterm was introduced to me long after so I already have my habits but it is equally a good terminal program.

Were there other BBS terminal programs that you tried that didn't handle zmodem as well?

Syncterm was introduced to me long after so I already have my habits but it is equally a good terminal program.

SyncTerm was one of the first telnet BBS terminals I used, and I stuck with it, as it does what I need. Also, it seems SyncTerm is noticeably a little faster at rendering ANSI than netrunner and mtel. I like that netrunner and metel look a little more like a traditional modem communication program though.

And as far as the protocols, it's handy that they support x/y/zmodem built in. Back in the 90s, I used to like to experiment with external protocols, but it seems that's mostly irrelevant with internet BBSes.
