EasyFlash3 BBS and IRC released

So, i try it out and works great...
Its so funny to join IRC with the C64..

BBS working also fine, but punter would be great and multi-/ download/upload...

Would it be possible, to use the IRC program
with a Wifi modem?

caveat emptor (for those on OS X trying to install libftdi0 with Mac Ports):
Don't waste your time (like I did ), it does not work because where ever Mac Ports installs libftdi0 (I couldn't find . -exec grep -n libftdi0 /dev/null {} \; it at all), it isn't linked properly anyway. Use brew install libftdi0 as referenced in README-macos and you're good to go.

Pair the EasyFlash with an Pi Zero W, and you're good to go

wow nice work! Thank you very much. now another use for the easyflash. I think i will try this with my c64 the first time in my life. Only saw screenshots in the magazines back then.

@Tom-Cat
Unfortunately, neither BBS nor IRC runs on my C64 (SD2IEC attached, though that makes no tested difference). This is as far as it gets:

… nothing happens from there on, the C64 only shows the EF3 menue (the same applies to the IRC version). I've tried two reportedly working USB cables, both available ports, to no avail.

Yes, I did that long time ago, it's on v1.1.1/1.20.

Other utilities work fine ? EF3USB , EasyTransfer (the one from skoe) ???

Positive
Is it an issue being on OS X El Capitan 10.11.6?

*Cough*, for disambiguation: EasyTransfer works fine, I haven't used EF3USB as of now.

The C64 idles away in the EF3 menue, while the shell remains at "Starting ef3bbs.prg on c64".
Never mind, I got my DIY ESP8266 based WiFi modem finally to work yesterday, so I'm happy with this solution. Thanks for your support so far!

Is the IRC client proprietary to the EF3 connection? If so, with more and more people building likewise based ESP8266 WiFi modems for their (C-)8bitters, a growing number would benefit from an adaptation of at least the IRC prg.

If you have an EasyFlash3 connected to a PC (or Linux or Mac) via USB cable then you can now enjoy the following:

EF3 BBS : Connect to numerous C64 BBS's and enjoy nice PETSCII graphics, modem speeds and newest releases using your real C64 and EF3 cartridge. You can also connect to normal telnet servers if you want. Downloading and Upload to/from PC is possible using XModem protocol.

EF3 IRC : Now you can ruin your eyesight by sitting at your c64 with the flickery CRT all the time chatting on #c-64 channel. 80 Columns support, colours and most commands working... is there anything better (yes, probably mostly everything else. Ed.)

Tom-Cat is the source for EF3 BBS available? It would be nice to fiddle around with. C64 on the net.. crazy and cool at the same time!
