[Suns-at-Home] Apple Terminal

[Ben Lewis]

Hello Folks

All this talk lately about using old Apple machines as serial  
terminals came to a head this weekend when a friend emailed me these  
links saying "Seen these?"

Not to be outdone I whipped up my own creation and sent him a picture  
right back :-

That's NSCA Telnet running on Mac OS System 7. Thinking that serial  
connections were now old hat I fitted a TCP/IP network card from an  
old Performa and installed the Apple Open Transport extensions and  
hey presto, "it just works" :)

Ok I know it's not rocket science but it whiled away a rainy sunday  
afternoon.

Best regards

Ben
