Interesting. Thanks for the link. I remember using a Russian clone called “Terminator” which looked way more polished than Terminate, but don’t know if it’s related to this controversy.

EDIT: Oh! I found it and installed it from https://www.sac.sk/files.php?d=3&l= . Apparently, Terminator isn't a Russian clone like I remembered, but actually the successor to Terminate written by George Collins.




Wow! I had no idea about Terminator! It would be fascinating to hear about what happened from Bo's perspective.

edit: this thread has some more info https://groups.google.com/g/comp.dcom.modems/c/JdOtiDGCV3Y

There's one person in the thread who is skeptical that Bo was in the wrong!


Well, that was a rabbit hole to go in. I see that Bo had made no attempt to explain the situation to his followers over the years which isn't in his favor.
