So I have several c64's lying around, I'd really like to be able to connect them up to mystic.

Aside from the c64 side of things wifi modem or whatever I choose on that
end, what things do I need to do to Mystic itself in order to support the platform?

I know c64 uses 40 column, so a 40 column theme seems appropriate, does
anyone have one lying around?

Anything else I need to consider?

I dont think Mystic supports petscii (I could be wrong though)...

If you wanted to use a BBS package, then Synchronet supports petscii and does convert some chars on the fly I believe. (Dont have one to confirm though.)

I do a lot of bbsing from my c64. I primarily call other c64 systems as
trying to call a system that uses a lot of ansi and that doesn't offer either
a 40 col theme or an ascii theme is near impossible to understand. I can't
even call my own bbs from my c64 until I create a 40 col petscii theme.

Dang, that is what I was afraid of.

Might have to set up a c64 compatible daughter bbs heh. :)

Great things being done with Image and C-Net64 as well.
