messages cut out. Is there a way to make SyncTERM go to full screen like when you're using DOSBox.

I use mTelnet and SyncTerm - Syncterm handles file transfers better, but mTelnet has some nice font smoothing. Both work in full screen on my Windows 10 desktop.
Hello everyone, I posted this in another section and I think I should have posted this here so I deleted the previoussettings in Syncterm and it only made it
post on the other message area since the post had no replies yet and it was the wrong place to post it. I am using
windows 10 X64. I used system in the past and it was great when I was using Windows XP. But since I have been using it
now it's in the small and not easy to read and it does not fill the entire part and sometimes messages cut out. Is
there a way to make SyncTERM go to full screen like when you're using DOSBox. Or is there another terminal program that
would be better to use with windows 10. I have tested most of the other screen
works. I would really appreciate any advice and or help with this issue.

I have been using it for several years on Windows and often the program will
just lock up since using it Windows 7. Has anyone run across the same
issue?

I used to use MTel, but the time on downloads and QWK packets was
always in UTC Time. Plus, you had to manually enter the Sysop password
if you were the Sysop on a Synchronet BBS.
With SyncTerm, the time on downloads and QWK packets is correct, and
it will enter the Sysop password for a Synchronet BBS for you.

Wait, it will? I have "System Password" filled in, but I always have to type in my sysop password manually.

Have you tried hitting Alt-L (to send the auth creds)?
Rob,
Have you tried hitting Alt-L (to send the auth creds)?
Does that work with just the "default connection", or does it work
with all of them??

I'm not aware of a "default connection" in SyncTERM. The Alt-L feature works DM>with any BBS that's in your dialing directory and has a username and passwor DM>configuration (and optionally a system password).

I've never had a problem with it...probably because it's the only BBS
my schedule allows me to connect to. Plus, by doing an ALT-L, it enters it. Also, I have my BBS set to the "default connection", and that may be why it's taking the system password automatically.

just haven't had time to look into it and see if it's my BBS or
SyncTerm itself.
I figured out how to get file transfers working in some of the doors online. I had to rename the FDSZ program to DSZ, and have that in the
door directory, with appropriate commands. The SEXYZ protocols are on
the BBS itself.
Rob,

The version of SyncTerm that I have is 1.1b -- the left window is the directory of BBS's, then a smaller window on the right has SyncTerm settings. The entries in the right window include Default Connection Settings, Current Screen Mode, Font Management, and Program Settings.
If there is a newer version of SyncTerm, I'm not aware of it...or
where to obtain it.
I always log in via ssh, so I never see the username/password bit, it just
comes up with the prompt for the system password, I'm not sure if I thought D>that "Alt-L" would send the full username/password or not, but I had never D>tried it. I just used it a little while ago and it works :)

Right, and "Settings" is the key word. Those settings are used when creating DM>new entry in the dialing "Directory". That's it.
1.1b is the current development version, so that's the newest.
As noted, I may have an older version of SyncTerm. But, if I upgrade,
do I have to a fresh install??
I just downloaded the deveopment build from http://syncterm.bbsdev.net and
unzipped it over my install.
That said, it looks like you're running the latest version already :)
