I'm really getting much more of a chuckle from the puzzles thrown up by trying to use a #VintagePC on a modern network than I ever expected!
Modern #puTTY binaries won't run on #WindowsNT4; ancient binaries from January 2000 are available and will run, but can't connect to a modern #SSH server. Most effective for file transfer is a combination of #telnet specially installed on my daily driver #Linux machine and
python3 -m http.server.Netscape 4.7 works nicely with the Python HTTP server, and the telnet client that comes with Windows NT4 supports VT100 so on opening a shell on my Linux machine, I find the
w3mcommand line web browser is just about usable - good enough to download ancient binaries and installers onto the Linux machine that can be served via Python's HTTP server.I've also given #wrp, the Web Rendering Proxy, a spin; it's surprisingly effective. Runs on a Linux machine on the network and serves pages as GIFs with clickable image maps.
