  1. First attempt at a convoluted "teletype" connection to @particlesbbs

    Thwarted by a busy signal but I will try later :)

    Using a USB-to-Serial cable, a #nullModem, a 9-to-25-pin adapter, #tcpser running on Linux, and a Brother EP-44 #typewriter

  3. This will likely be of interest to very, very few people, but I put together a tcpser-related Python script:
    github.com/Kirkman/tcpser-trac

    Basically it converts captured trace data into a text file.

    I used it to capture the "Instant Graphics and Sound" output from my BBS. (My IGS stuff is partially generated by JS, so that's why I needed to capture it from the "modem" while connected).
