Short primer for BBS'ing
I have made a short primer in order to assist people connecting to my BBS (or any other bulletin board for that matter). It is just one page and thus must shorter than the Antidote Tutorial which I also hold available on my domain.
https://allt.jonatanforsberg.net/krams/c64/bht_primer.pdf
Any input to making it more lucid is appreciated.

HeavyHead has just pointed out that there of course is not a standard across platforms for connecting.
On Ultimate64 apparently there shouldn't be space between atdt and [address:port] (unless this has been remedied?).
CGterm is D for dial and then address and port without : inbetween.
I am a bit unsure if it would be helpful or not to add this to a tiny primer though.

Later versions of SyncTERM seems to work as well, for those unable to call out native. It now presents petscii (albeit with a few glitches) and cursormenu seems to work like a charm.

EDIT: In October Style released CCGMSx which remedies all issues with calling out via Win/Lnx/Mac:
CCGMSx V1.0.0
