Would you like to save your visit into a BBS and store all the fancy ANSI graphics? to rip them all? (no... for the last part) Well you can. You don't have to use a specific telnet client for BBSes. You can just use the linux telnet
command to connect to the BBS and we will use the tee
command to save the output, into a file.
So... lets visit my BBS, Another Droid In a terminal enter the following command:
telnet andr01d.zapto.org 9999 | tee -a output.ans
You will connect to the BBS and after hanging up, all the ANSI graphics and everything displayed on the screen is saved in the output.ans file. You can rip the graphics with any ANSI editor, like Moebius or PabloDraw.
