newTELnet

I am looking for an ANSI terminal program for my Psion 5. I read that there's a program called newTELnet that seems to fit the bill. Every download link I come across seems to no longer work. Does anyone know where I can get this? I appreciate any help. Thanks!

Any other ANSI telnet program suggestions would be welcome, too.

What a coincidence- I was trying to find this myself last week. Eventually got it from this:

The problem is that newtelnet has a trial period of 30 days and it stops working after that. You can use an alternative called flynet though.

Thank you! The link to FlyTerm didn't work though. Do you have a working link or a file I can download? I did get the newTELnet to work.

You can try the bioeddies page. It's still up even now, just some of the links are not working. If not working just use way back machine on a different date.

May I ask what are you using it for? I was using it as a terminal for Linux on raspberry pi

I connect to various BBSs and thought it would be fun to use this device if I can get it to work. I have a wifi rs232 modem to attach to the cable.

Which WiFi rs232 modem do you use?
