*** Quoting x1pepe from a message to Warpslide ***
Ok guys, but if SEXPOTS it is a Synchronet app and for windows, how
can I use it for my Mystic board that is mounted on a Raspberry Pi4?
There is it something similar for Linux/Raspberry Pi.
Yup, I'm using it on my Pi now. I had to compile Synchronet to get the
binary I'm using and then plugged a USB to serial adapter into the Pi which came up as /dev/ttyUSB0 and then plugged a USRobotics modem into that.
I run this command to get SEXPOTS to initialize the modem and start waiting for calls:
./sexpots -com /dev/ttyUSB0 -baud 19200 -port 2323

Your welcome to try the binary I've compiled. It was compiled on my Pi 4:

Otherwise you can follow the instructions here to compile Synchronet yourself and then grab the sexpots binary:

For me it's more of a novelty to have this up and running, I don't expect (many people|anybody) to actually use it. I'm running it over a voip line which does work, but not as well as a traditional POTS line would.
