  • Gbbs-Tcpser-Howto-01
    This is a basic how-to on setting up an Internet-connected BBS using GBBS Pro and either a real or emulated Apple IIe or IIgs computer. For AppleWin users, the minimum required version is 1.26.3.0 – this version has an ACIA behavior fix that’s needed for GBBS Pro (or any other BBS package) to operate properly. You can find the latest version of AppleWin here: https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin In order to connect your real or virtual Apple IIe to the Internet, you’re going to need to set up a “modem emulator”. There’s a number of different choices out there, but for this how-to I’m going to cover one called tcpser. What tcpser does is act as a bridge between the Internet and your Apple IIe (or other vintage computer). As far as your Apple IIe is concerned, it’s talking to a real modem. Setting up a host for tcpser is pretty simple. I’m going to cover two methods that I’ve used myself. Note that tcpser can be built for Linux, Windows, and pretty much any BSD-derived operating system (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Darwing, etc.) First will be a Raspberry Pi configuration and the second will be a Windows configuration. For the Raspberry Pi option, you’ll need the following items: • Raspberry Pi 3 • USB to Serial adapter – units that use the Prolific PL-2303 chipset are preferred and are known to work well. You can search Amazon for “Prolific PL2303” to see some good examples from the likes of Sabrent and Trendnet.
