[TESTING] TinkerDifferent.com Retro Proxy

I added a telnet bbs style site almost working which would be the minimum (just the raw text) which should be pretty fast, and it pages so you only get 24x80 max bytes at a time. telnet tinkerdifferent-test.scsi.blue 6502

Ooooh - I'm gonna have to make that accessible from CQ II BBS!

I might try adding login to the telnet option - though not sure how I'd handle the session yet. I'd need to keep the cookie for the duration of the telnet session i suppose. Will think on it.

If you could then post too, that would be pretty amazing. It would also be nice to have a prompt at the bottom of the screen to see what you're typing.

Added the link to CQ II BBS - you even got the Marquee at the bottom of the main menu!

How versatile is your parser? Could it be used to parse, say, google news? 68k.news is broken now. Its the one thing classic doesn't yet seem to have: A usable news aggregator. I know, OT, but its worth thinking about if you enjoy building these sorts of tools. Since you seem to have figured out how to simul-post to Gopher, that would really be something too. All of the Gopher news aggregators are dead except for hackernews and such.
