Serial Terminal

After I was able to discard completely the Compaq Contura a few days (probably bug in the LCD controller) must now PACOMP (never heard of ^ ^.) 486 DX66 as a serial terminal . Serve
The disk I replaced by an 8 MB Compact Flash card, that's enough for the terminal emulator and now is the part not to hear more :-) Perfect for the bed so:-P

currently FreeDOS run as "System" and Bananacom a terminal emulator. Bananacom emulated but actually an ANSI terminal, but the server VT102 is set to work cancellation and sign-paste. Bananacom does not seem to bother anyway. Here are some "screenshots" ;-)

The login screen :-)

After successful login (via macros of a button ;-).

as GNU screen terminal multiplexer is used. This has the advantage that the session will remain even if you close or it crashes for some reason (?) Or something ;-)
You can also combine virtually any number of screens in a single session, in my case 10, and conveniently switch between them. If you're really just off the laptop as it would turn off a screen on the server.

An ANSI terminal for DOS can of course, only text display. So, all programs run on the console. The file manager is no problem, but for ICQ and Twitter is already exciting ;-)

The Browser: elinks =)

www.google.de looks a bit different than usual ;-) But it works fine.

The mail system: Fetchmail to retrieve, nsmtp to send and the client, in which the setting is scarier than the emails that you get it: Mutt ^ ^

Ttytter as a Twitter client.. Getting used to, but effective.

The music player: MPD in combination with ncmpc. The whole thing can be also controlled remotely fine with the old receiver's remote control ^. ^ Output via headphones in bed or alternatively on the system :-)

The holy remote. The numbers select a playlist and the remaining buttons control volume, forward, back, etc.

The root screen. Pacman as a package manager of Arch Linux, here in the installation of Ruby.

Unfortunately, there seems to be an issue if Linux is to transfer the DOS-ANSI to UTF8 umlauts. Therefore, it does not for some programs and in others. But except in so far that does not bother chatting not ;-)

ICQ / MSN on the finch, based on Pidgin. .
