Wondering, I'm venturing into setting up my dial-up modem with

distros don't support them.

Please keep in mind that the recommended init strings in the manual in most cases will not work if your trying to host a bbs system. You will have to play around with the init strings to get it to work.

yes, it should be openrc or systemd in linux, bash is not supported, oh well it looks like bash, but the intepretter is not bash

----- binkd begins -----
#!/sbin/openrc-run

depend() {

start-stop-daemon --start --user ${BINKD_USER} --exec /usr/bin/binkd --pidfile ${BINKD_PID} -- ${BINKD_OPTIONS} ${BINKD_CFG}

works on gentoo :)

maybe, i am disapointed by commodore that allowed microsoft to deliver basic roms to commodore pets and c64 vic20 c128, this was perfect way of stoping better software in the case there was never any virus updates to roms software

i had hoped to see fully dokumented asm code for basic roms so it could be developed updates to them, but maybe we would just have created basic patch software, hmm

on the other side COMAL 80 was the best alternative, just not many that at that time of selling nobody know about, and who did, did not pay more attention to, it was also more expensive then the basic roms, but comal was inded programmed from asm coders that know more on how 6502 worked
