No, we still want to do that. It's a matter of time - it's not a trivial ta=
sk. Earthlink are getting out of that business, perhaps they will release t=
he codes etc? Couldn't hurt to ask.

uch given up on turning the

I haven't given up. It has been probably more than 6 months si=
nce
I have done much, though. Kind of burned out I guess. It does
seem to=
be capable of sucking up an unlimited amount of time! :-)

Is there such a beast as a mailstation emulator? The
would be the way to go for testing and debugging new
code..

You'd need to analyze the code to make one. This sort of work has been done
before, as in the TRS-80 computers which were thoroughly analyzed.

ilstation emulator? The
new
If anyone has one, they haven't said anything about
it here.=
But it sure would be cool!!!
I think we know enough about the mailstatio=
n hardware
to make one, but it is not a "one night" project.

There would be less work to do to just develop code directly on real
hardware, given the existence of Mailbug, Z80 assemblers, C compilers
(like SDCC), etc. You would need to adapt the standard library to
mailstation but that's less work than having to reverse engineer and
document every component in the mailstation which is what would be
needed to make an emulator.
That said there are already CP/M emulators around which can run raw
Z80 code, so you could do testing for large swaths of code in a CP/M
environment.
Anyway it's more fun to develop on "the real thing." At least that's
my bias as an embedded systems developer. WIth mailbug you're doing
"target debugging" anyway, so you get the advantages of working on a
desktop while testing code on a real Mailstation.
