MCuT - a complete packet radio system for PC/FlexNet

MCuT is a packet radio terminal, a packet radio mailbox and a convers bridge. Its main features are its speed, the easy setup, the rather big set of features with little hardware requirements.

The Terminal

MCuT's terminal implements all basic features of a decent packet radio terminal:

• sending/receiving of text and binary files
• supports the most common password systems
• has a rich set of remote commands
• 7plus and autobin autosave
• offers both pulldown-menus and command-line
• is easy to setup, no need to edit configuration files

The more advanced features are:

• automatic recognition of the remote system type
• ANSI colour support
• PGP signature checking, simple PGP frontend included
• supports PC/FlexNet (hostmode support - TNC and emulation - is included but not very efficient and therefore not recommanded
• low hardware requirements: with BBS 286/1MB, terminal only: XT
• simple scripting language for extensions
• included editor

The BBS

• BayBox-like user interface
• Supports RLI and compressed FBB-style store and forward
• Supports DieBox system messages
• Supports replies/followups using the integrated editor - quoting the original message, automatic generation of PGP signatures

MCuT is no longer developed. The last stable version is 1.08. Further developed but instable source is available on request.
