News from the #Floppy #Museum!
A friend of mine, fusion[1] from #OS2Warez, has written a tiny wrapper for #BBS #door programs so I can run them without needing a full-blown BBS. Combined with
rlfossil
, a telnet-to-serial-port emulator for DOS (yes, really!), you can now read and write messages in my little forum!Just telnet to
floppy.museum
on port8023
- I recommend using #SyncTERM or some other client that implements the IBM 437 codepage, or 850 in a pinch. The experience should be fairly period-correct, something akin to a 1200 baud modem based on my testing.And just a reminder: This is a 286 machine, which also runs a web server, an IRC server, an FTP server and all of the above at the same time. It's not fast, but it gets the job done.
Also: Only one node at the moment. If it's busy, try again later! Consider it an early beta, for the moment! :D
