Hey guys,

I've been into messing with old RS-232 terminals again recently.  They're all "dumb" terminals, of course.. not full-fledged computers.  Some of them have built in modems, but most just have a serial port for connection to a mainframe.  I hadn't messed with most of them for over seven years!  I traditionally use a modern Linux machine with a serial cable to allow them access to the Internet.  I typically telnet into MUDs, MUSHes, or do some web stuff with Lynx.  It's fun stuff.

Anyway, is anybody else into computer terminals?
