Thanks HOL2001 for testing! ;)

Update 18.9.07: Now with Linux Vice tutorial (scroll down) + forum links and of course the C64 Online BBS Video
--------------------------------------
This step by step tutorial gives an example for windows users (tested with win
xp pro) to connect to the Telnet BBS Jamming Signal (runs on a real C64!) of
Leif Bloomquist very very oldschool like using the Winvice C64 Emu (this feels
almost like the real thing!).

This is as close as you can get to the old 300 baud days in the mid 80s. Believe me - I was there back in the old days! ;)

--------------------------------------

0.1 Connect as usual to the Internet (*g*).

1. Download latest version of Winvice

http://www.viceteam.org/

2. Download + Install tcpser

http://quipzz.bplaced.net/tcpser300baud.zip

copy cygwin1.dll in you windows/system32 dir

2.a Change to tcpser Dir and start tcpser using the following command line:

tcpser -v 25232 -s 300 -p 6400 -l 4

3. Install + Start Winvice

Under settings/RS232 Setting/RS232Device1:

type:  127.0.0.1:25232

Under settings/cartrigdeIOSettings/RS232 UserportSetting:

Enable RS232 Userport, Userport Device 1 Userport baud rate 300 (of course! ;) )

4.Download Hanno Behrens (1) Turbo Term 

http://quipzz.bplaced.net/tterm.d64

4a. Attach (file/attach diskimage) tterm.d64 to winvice

type: load "ttgreen",8 

type: "run"

Type 7 (RS232 Parameter)

Set to 300 Baud

Enter Terminal Mode (3)

type: atdt209.151.141.59
(or atdt71.230.30.3, cause Jamming Signal will be down for a while)

Now you should get a carrier from Jamming Signal BBS like in the old 300 baud days (yep *this* is the "speed" of the 80s!) :D !

Have fun!

*** Update ***

Additional Infos for Linux/Vice:

Settings: 

- enable Userport RS232 Emulation on menu RS232 Settings
- set Baudrate to 300
- set Userport Device to "Exec Process"

Then set "Name to Exec" at bottom of the same menu to
|nc localhost 25232

SAVE and RESTART your x64, before the changes will work.

"nc" is the program "netcat", that sometimes is named "netc" or "netcat" or "ncat",
depending on how old or geeky your Linux is. Okay, if you are firm in using Linux
you may be used toguess after the next update the new name of your most basic
commands anyway, haha! On most Linux I do know "nc" is not part of the "Dummy-Install". 

Thanks Hanno for your help + Linux infos!
