OOPS! :I MY bad!

you can log onto your Unix Mac via telnet and send / receive mail etc. Click to expand... No, telnet is spawned by inetd. We are talking purely serial, so you would be coming i…

FidoNet worked as follows: User runs terminal software and dials his local FidoNet BBS system. Reads his messages, types new messages to other FidoNet subscribers and logs out. Lat…

If so, I'd be interested in how it could be done. More than likely, I have completely misunderstood what I read and simply need to be set straight. Click to expand... Choose a …

the down low is back when you used a terminal emulator to access unix (type) servers, and the whole experience was text based, altho that could be mouse and menu driven, anything b…

Here's where you're sounding schizophrenic. Click to expand... I think we've totally gotten off on the wrong foot. I just re-read this thread and I can't even figure out what's…

Since when does being interested in vintage Macs require a degree in computer programming? I'm not frightened, just have no interest in it. There are many folks on these forums who…

I still have no way to bridge the output from MacTerminal to the Internet and vice/versa. Which was the whole point. Click to expand... I thought you had a Mac OS X box in betw…

I'd love it if there was a KIP/MacIP based package that you could use on a Mac 512K (no, a 128K will never cut it) to access a Unix box. I've tried it, and I have exchanged mail wi…

The way I read it you wanted the 128k to do SLIP or PPP. Both can be done, but you have to basically duplicate the functionality of MacTCP in a small memory space. Click to expa…

To do any expanding of the funcationalilty of the 128k like you describe you are going to have to do real programming ( Pascal, C or assembler ). Click to expand... You couldn'…

but it seems a little unusual to me for someone interested in "retrocomputing" to be frightened of learning gruesome technical details about how computers "in general" work....Real…

Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but it seems a little unusual to me for someone interested in "retrocomputing" to be frightened of learning gruesome technical details ab…

For many non-UNIX users on this forum, these kinds of projects usually die a quick death since it involves some advanced configuration of tools which are not familiar to most Mac u…

For me, it's about expanding the functionality of a 128K (and bragging rights)......it's a fun idea that's beyond my skill set. Click to expand... To do any expanding of the fu…

Here's a vt100 terminal emulator that supposedly runs on a 128k Mac. Click to expand... And this is where my eyes glaze over. There is no shortage of vintage Terminal and e-mai…

Just use a terminal emulator! Click to expand... Seconded. Here's a vt100 terminal emulator that supposedly runs on a 128k Mac. There are many recipes out there to enable a tt…

I'm not really concerned, I won't be using OSX with it much at all. Thanks for the info though, kind of a shame to think OSX makes so many invisible files.

Also formatting floppies in OS X is a bit hit-and-miss. It won't do the part where it goes back and eliminates bad blocks. You also don't get the 100% same full capacity for some…

I will run from a 1400/2400/3400/Kanga/Wallstreet/Pismo adapter as well as from a Duo ps if that's any use.

got this monster i dug out of a box, missing lots of stuff, but i forget if the mobo was any good or not. What is the pinout of the DC jack? thanks.

Just use a terminal emulator! Alternatively you could do a cut-down IP stack with PPP and minimized POP3 client.
