Hello all. I just read about someone over at Tumblr who had
managed to rig up an old VT220 terminal to work with his Mac Pro
and some more.
The terminal emulators of old for the classic OS absolutely depend
on a serial port that needs to be connected to a serial port on the
UNIX box or a modem that can get there with a transmission link.
True, apps like ZTerm work through a serial device. But it's
possible to install a virtual serial device that opens a network
socket. I think Peter N. Lewis made one, called TCPSerial or somesuch.
Doing it using ethernet between OS 7 or even 8 and OS 10 after
10.3.9 is impossible because OS X has disabled AppleFile protocol
over ethernet.
Huh?? Apple dropped AFP over AppleTalk (in favor of AFP over TCP),
and anyway AFP has nothing to do with this.
