On Friday, November 24th Orphan was heard saying...

Hello everybody! I'm currently using SyncTerm under windows and it works ok. I wonder what other options are? What do you guys use?

Right now, I'm using Konsole under HaikuOS. I question if I would recommend it to my enemies.

I'm using Konsole under HaikuOS. It might be reliable.

I use Netrunner. I like it a lot and it seems to do the job. You
can download it from: mysticbbs.com/downloads.html

Icyterm. Supports almost everything Syncterm does, plus IEMSI logins and Web Socket (secure and non) connections. Even supports my SSH connection with IEMSI login...

One thing that all of are missing is whatever netrunner has to smooth everything out.

Anti-aliasing, I think it was.

I remember g00 talking about the fonts having sharp edges and this rounded them off to be smoother looking.

Actually, netrunner doesn't support my ssh connection. ssh://bbs:shsbbs@shsbbs.net. It doesn't seem to support normal linux ssh connections, only bbs ones.

It's because it uses cryptlib, which uses obsolete algorithms. You have to set your ssh daemon to accept obsolete algorithms to make it work.

Syncterm also uses cryptlib, but I believe it is patched to make it work with newer algorithms.

I didn't know this about Netrunner. What terminal program would you
recommend for Windows users?

... "I am" is the shortest sentence in English. Is 'I do' the longest?

Thanks, I'll look into that!

Evidently, according to Apam I can loosen my encryption restrictions to allow netrunner to connect. I'll look into that. For now, I use icyterm (which
also allows secure and non websocket connections).

Yeah, you're using cryptlib with mystic, not a normal linux SSH connection.

I tried adding:

Ciphers +3des-cbc,aes128-cbc,aes192-cbd,aes256-cbc

to sshd_config

ssh -Q cipher shows them listed as such:

3des-cbc
aes128-cbc
aes192-cbc
aes256-cbc
aes128-ctr
aes192-ctr
aes256-ctr
aes128-gcm@openssh.com
aes256-gcm@openssh.com
chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com

But that didn't help. Netrunner is still refusing to connect. It doesn't
even give me an error, it just times out.

I saw your post about this right after I posted my comment. I guess we really aren't communicating "instantaneously!"
