 |  Re: Is there a PLUS4 emulation with working RS232?
Some ppl from US confirmed, that the C64 modems work with Plus/4 (maybe one pin need to be sepereted from user port)
There was no real plus/4 sales volume in the US to reach the attention and support, so it is not a big surprise that back in the 90s there was very few prgs..
Here in Eastern Europe the phone lines were less frequently available at homes and much more expensive, than in the US. Especially in Hungary (where we had volume sales) the BBS life was really sporadic. (certainly not at the universities, they provided bandwidth and free use. Mainly crackers/hackers used then for the better and faster scene info, than snailmail)
Maybe I am not wrong when I say, 90% of C= BBS servers were located in US.
Nowadays not an issue, but with dial-in, it could be a difference.
