18:24 🔗 TSCHAK Hello everybody.
18:25 🔗 TSCHAK I have a preliminary version of PLATOTERM running in Emscripten, http://js.irata.online/ .. it still needs a soft keyboard wired up (and lots of keyboard related work), but it works.... One of my goals this year is to try and get the various emularity targets to have some way to connect out to the internet, so that the various ports of PLATOTERM (on Apple II, C64, Atari, MS-DOS, Amiga, X68000, etc.) can be run in their particular forms.
19:07 🔗 TSCHAK current code is sitting in here: http://github.com/tschak909/platotermjs
19:48 🔗 bai TSCHAK: sounds cool. we've been doing a bit of brainstorming on networking for the platforms we support too, we've got a working implementation for PPP and some success with IPX in dosbox
19:49 🔗 TSCHAK fantastic, I have a MS-DOS version of PLATOTERM here:
19:49 🔗 TSCHAK https://github.com/tschak909/platotermpc/releases/tag/0.1-ALPHA
19:50 🔗 TSCHAK I need to modify it to use mbbrutman's mTCP stack, to go the PPP<->IPX tunneling route
19:51 🔗 TSCHAK but thus far, most of the different platforms are RS-232 to some sort of WIFI modem (or WIFI modem emulator like tcpser).. the Apple //gs version is an interesting exception as it uses Marinetti and works great with e.g. an Uthernet II...
19:56 🔗 bai yeah that's how our dosbox ppp implementation works, it just sends serial data over a tcp port, which we tell emscripten to wrap in a websocket
19:56 🔗 bai that gets routed to a server which listens for websocket connections, and then just shunts that directly to an instance of pppd running in aws
19:57 🔗 bai so you could probably use the same technique for other serial-based protocols like SLIP or whatever those other platforms use, as long as there's a linux daemon that can be run on the other end
19:57 🔗 TSCHAK ok
19:58 🔗 bai ethernet emulation should be doable too but I haven't experimented with that
19:58 🔗 bai like a TUN/TAP style device
20:00 🔗 TSCHAK if it's just serial data over a tcp port, that can be routed directly to tcpser and just work, at least for the ms-dos version.
20:00 🔗 TSCHAK I can patch tcpser to explicitly dial a specific endpoint. done.

21:48 🔗 TSCHAK bai, any current notes on setting up a test rig? I can show this working in DOSBOX (I currently use DOSBOX for testing the MS-DOS version) if I have a tiny bit of dox.
21:53 🔗 bai TSCHAK: got a writeup here, https://docs.google.com/document/d/16Vc-PxHxbVo5WG20tuF4zDHHa3oWO5DcEs-w3teNEYM/edit?usp=drivesdk
21:54 🔗 bai and a repository with some scripts to set up the server here https://github.com/jbaicoianu/PPPoW-server
21:54 🔗 TSCHAK oh nice. Thanks. :)
21:55 🔗 TSCHAK hopefully I can come back with something archive.org (and anyone else) can use.
21:55 🔗 bai hmm, looks like this has a bunch of conf files but not the scripts - the scripts just do variable substitution on each of the config files though, wonder where I put them
21:55 🔗 TSCHAK eventually once I get the keyboard issues resolved with the ... *cough* ahem "native" Javascript terminal, that will be an excellent option as well. (I need a decent on-screen keyboard)
