Lantronix and Lynx Web browser

[David Baldwin]

Now to brows the internet by using your vintage computer and lantronix device simple as try this

in your Ubuntu computer install telnetd when its installed all you do in the terminal comms program

you have on your atari amiga dos or ti. now just loginto your linux computer like atdt 10.1.1.2:23 name and password

now your in linux shell is on your classic computer and powerfull you can run lynx on your classic computer and Telnet and FTP

and do more. my brains is working overtime working things out and doing more with Lantronix for us to use.

If the terminal emulation's good enough, rather than lynx try links2.

[David Baldwin]

Elinks works to but thing can go strang and not allways work on the terminal best in VT100, on my Dos computer i find Conex to work the best

you will have to try out terminal programes that will work. with your classic computer.

lynx2 seems to be the best browser to use but the arrow keys are not working looks like we will have to work around

the trubbles at lest the lantronix is more than just bbsing use.

Yeah, I had to run stuff through screen sometimes to get it to look right on my Apple //e due to terminal emulation bugs...

Ok now the Lantronix can Mulititask up to 9 Sessions in one terminal depending on the vt100 terminal you have see if it will

allow it see the Doc. In my Conex i press Alt N to open a new session a new terminal. I am connected to my Beos Shell and

Ubuntu shell at the same time Mulititasking on a digital DECpc all in DOS.

I can't even imagine trying to use Lynx today. It wasn't very good back when most of the sites were very, very simple (ie pre-GUI based Web Browsers). I didn't much bother with web browsing until Netscape Navigator.

 

I do somewhat miss the simplicity of Pine or Tin though.

Pine still exists, in a way, and I still use it...
