 +===== MuffinTerm ===== 
 + 
 +MuffinTerm is a terminal program for connecting to bulletin board systems (BBSes) over the Internet via telnet. 
 + 
 +It’s designed to visually emulate traditional PC text-mode hardware of the dial-up BBS era: The original MDA and CGA from 1981; EGA from 1984; and the popular VGA introduced in 1987. Starting with version 1.1, it also emulates the VIC-II video generator from 1982, as used by one of the most popular home computers of the 8-bit era. 
 + 
 +It interprets the standard terminal sequences for controlling text attributes such as color and screen layout, and supports the most popular file transfer protocols (X/Y/ZMODEM) traditionally used on BBSes. 
 + 
 +On iPad or iPhone, an external keyboard is recommended, but not required. You’ll also need an active Internet connection. If you have an iCloud account, you can also use it to sync BBS details between your devices, but that’s optional.

   * Qodem understands its supported emulations much better than many other programs. It has a "vttest score" of 104; under a true xterm it even displays double-width/double-height characters correctly. It can play ANSI Music, supports ANSI fallback for Avatar, translates both PC VGA and DEC multinational characters to Unicode, and can handle the UTF-8 flavors of Linux and xterm emulations.    * Qodem understands its supported emulations much better than many other programs.
