software to call a bbs

[Daniel Crone]

Hello.  There is a bbs that I want to call.  This bbs must be contacted by 
a modem, and not telnet.  What software does a linux machine need for 
this?

minicom is a lot like the old DOS program telex. You've probably already 
got it installed.

You can go to http://www.columbia.edu/kermit and get c-kermit for Linux.
 Although it is distributed freely, it is copyrighted by Columbia
University, and thus is not distributed under the GNU/Public license. 
Nevertheless, it is very powerful and very stable software.

minicom is a good choice.  Most distros have it already installed.

If not you can install it yourself too.  It's pretty easy to use
and offers a nice help system.

Hi, you might try minicom. It is a terminal program, and might do what you 
need.
