Do
ctty com2 in DOS and then something like minicom -D /dev/nullmodem -R cp437 -b 9600 on Linux, for example.It literally only redirects stdin/stdout/stderr on DOS, which limits what you can do quite a bit. Launching
edit, for example, starts the editor on the normal screen and you have to use the actual keyboard to control it.(It’s probably useful to note that you can back to normal operations using
ctty con.)Those 9600 baud are pretty slow and they make it feel like you’re sitting in front of an old machine where even
dir prints line by line, slowly.Fun stuff. 😅

I’d rather focus on keeping my website compatible with older/retro clients. Not having a forced redirect to HTTPS and sticking to a simple layout is mostly enough.

(Those older clients tend to extend HTTP/1.0 a bit by sending a
Host: header. Without that, my webserver wouldn’t be able to find the correct vhost.)Really, having my _exact same website_ accessible with those browsers feels more rewarding than having to resort to Gopher. 🤔
