    I highly recommend Netrunner, which can be found on the MysticBBS
    website:

    http://mysticbbs.com/downloads.html

    It looks great, and was specifically designed with BBSing in mind.

    Yes Netrunner is a good client but i cant use it on macOS. Are there any other alternatives that i could use that are similar in
    function and use?

    I use it on Mac. I use it under Crossover. It's not 100% but works pretty well.

    I think the upscaling of CP437 is what sets it apart from SyncTerm. Unless you can do this with SyncTerm too?

    I posted a good while ago hoping we could get a flatpack version of this. Then it would just work on everything. g00r00 would have to do it and as hard as he works on Mystic I doubt we can push for more effort as the BBS world relies on him quite a bit. Maybe one day.

    Crossover is a pretty good emulator thing for running windows programs on mac but its not free so idk if i can use it. I'm on a pretty tight budget right now so i might not be able to afford it is there maybe a waz to run it under wine or something similar?

    I throw in icy term in the list:

    I released 0.7.6 last week. So it's still in active development.

    Hi Omni,

    I just tried using 0.7.6 on my MacBook.

    When trying to connect in to Mystic with SSH I got:
    "No common key algorithm"

    So have reverted back to 0.7.5 for now.

    I replaced all communication libraries with async ones the SSH library works but doesn't support a wide range of ciphers - the very new ones should be covered but I'm aware that it fails for some BBSes.

    I recommend staying on 0.7.5 unless you're running in bugs. However telnet works - the telnet part is implemented by me :). Secure WebSockets should work as well as far as I can tell. SSH will vary :/.
    But I'll look at the ssh libs which are available.

    If that doesn't work out for you, I use a program called ZOC terminal from http://www.emtec.com, its a commercial program and haven't really looked at anything else.
