If you're looking for a decent viewdata client, we would like to heartily recommend Syncterm for Windows, Linux and MacOS. You can get Syncterm from https://syncterm.bbsdev.net.

For other platforms, including Android, the R.T.Russell's excellent BBC Basic implementation includes a viewdata client named "Telstar.bbc". However, at the time of writing, you will have to edit line 13 of this file to add The Gongpit service details like this:

DATA "The Gongpit", "bbs.gongpit.com", "2323"

> This website is rubbish. I'm not a fan of mucking around with HTML, but I'll see if I can get AI to improve it somewhat soon. Until then, this is a placeholder -- the real content is on the BBS.
