I wish. :) While it is not difficult to port the silly stuff to using just plain jane HTML (well, with a little javascript thrown in) it is a real trade off on whether it is more efficient or not. Parsing return values from a terminal screen is quite a bit less costly than decoding and parsing HTML query strings. At least I think it is.
What I really want is a block terminal emulator for Linux and a matching client piece. Looks like I am going to have to write the doggon thing.
