and this is how you do it! This is so wicked. I am tying this post from the Apple //e right now. To prove it in a few minutes I will be posting the picture of this post. I had the minor snafu when I forgot to set the terminal emulation on the Apple II to VT220 (the linux box was already set) so I had to set it after I connected. It's awesome to see 68kmla on a machine so old. I am going to play with bumping up the terminal speed to 19200 but I am not sure if the slow part now is the apple IIe or the baud speed of the serial connection. This is such an awesome project. I got it done 31 minutes late after my b-day but this was such as awesome project and had a lot of fun with it. screw contiki, this is the best way with the most horsepower compared to the contiki, and it might be the cheapest solution for getting an apple IIe online. Cheers all. pic will be posted in a few!
