YouTubeTelnet and IRC for Flyer Released
May 01
Both the Telnet and IRC clients have been posted on the Retroswitch Flyer product page for download. These are 100% custom written for the Flyer in C/asm and are currently available for the Commodore 64 (and Commodore 128 in C64 mode).
Native ports for the Commodore 128 and 16K+ PETs are planned for the future.
Use the Retroswitch contact page to drop Brandon a line and let him know what machines you’d like to see supported first, any issues or feature requests you might have, and any suggestions for future Flyer apps!

Will the source code be made available? It would help people wanting to write other Flyer programs.

@Glenn: My understanding is the code that actually communicates with the Flyer in the Telnet and IRC clients is trivial and is probably 1% of each app, however I would suggest contacting Brandon directly via the Retroswitch.com contact page for any specific questions you may have.
