Crate badterm_core 

Front-end independent core of the BadTerm BBS client: CP437 handling, ANSI-BBS terminal emulation, the telnet protocol, the dialing directory and connection sessions (telnet, raw TCP, SSH, RLogin and modems) with file transfers.

Modules

ansi

ANSI-BBS / ANSI X3.64 terminal emulation.

atascii

Atari 8-bit BBSes: ATASCII, on the 40x24 screen of the Atari’s text mode, light text on blue.

autologin

Logging in with the entry’s stored user name and password: answering the BBS’s prompts by itself, or one step at a time on the user’s request (Alt-L).

avatar

AVATAR (AVT/0 and AVT/0+): the compact screen codes of Opus, Maximus and other FidoNet-era BBSes, interpreted alongside ANSI.

cp437

IBM code page 437 <-> Unicode conversion.

dialer

The dialing directory: saved BBS entries, stored as TOML, with import and export in SyncTERM .lst, CSV, JSON and TOML formats.

export

Turning screen contents back into files or clipboard text: plain text, and ANSI as BBS art viewers and editors expect it (CP437 bytes for .ans files, or Unicode for pasting).

kermit

Kermit file transfers, as C-Kermit, G-Kermit and Kermit-95 speak them, in both directions.

modem

Dialing out with a real modem on a serial port (or anything that acts like one: a USB modem, a WiFi modem, tcpser).

music

ANSI music: the BASIC PLAY language that BBSes send between ESC [ M (or ESC [ N, ESC [ |) and Ctrl-N, turned into tones to play.

palette

Color definitions: the 16-color CGA/VGA palette plus the xterm 256-color extension and 24-bit RGB used by modern BBS software.

petscii

Commodore 64 BBSes: PETSCII, on a 40x25 screen in the C64’s colors.

rip

RIPscrip 1.54 graphics: the vector scenes, buttons and clickable mouse regions of RIPterm-era BBSes, drawn on a 640x350 EGA canvas under the 80x43 text screen.

sauce

SAUCE, the record at the end of most ANSI art: title, artist, group, date, the width it was drawn at, its font and whether it uses iCE colors, plus any comment lines (https://www.acid.org/info/sauce/sauce.htm).

screen

The character-cell screen model: a grid of CP437 glyphs with attributes, a cursor, a scrolling region and a scrollback buffer.

session

A live connection to a BBS: protocol decoding, terminal state, ZMODEM transfers and session capture. Networking lives in crate::transport.

telnet

Telnet protocol (RFC 854) with the option negotiation a BBS client needs: BINARY (RFC 856), ECHO (857), SGA (858), TERMINAL-TYPE (1091) and NAWS (1073).

tls

Telnet over TLS (“TelnetS”, usually port 992), on rustls with the same ring crypto as SSH.

transfer

File transfers: ZMODEM here, XMODEM and YMODEM in crate::xmodem, and Kermit in crate::kermit.

transport

Network transports. Each connection runs on its own background thread and reports NetEvents through a callback; the caller writes through the Writer handed over in NetEvent::Connected.

update

Checking for a newer BadTerm: one HTTPS request for the newest release on the project’s Forgejo, made only when the user has turned the check on. It sends nothing but the request itself (with a “BadTerm/x.y.z” user agent).

xmodem

XMODEM (checksum, CRC and 1K) and YMODEM (batch, and the streaming YMODEM-G) file transfers, for the BBSes and doors that offer them.
