Emulation would work, but I dare suggest (cringing): You can use Syncterm
which has PETSCII support if you want a down and dirty quick way to test it. I
know that is sacrilege to suggest but it does. hehe
I would foresee PETSCII support making its way into Netrunner though as a
result of Mystic offering PETSCII!! ;)

Well I know you would have me FOR SURE testing it on real hardware and
emulation, I know Al (Bucko) would too!!!! Yeah I threw him under the bus but
this is a feature that is huge to him and I for our BBS'. For me my
8bitboyz.com crowd of Commodore users would also be excited for this.
