so my Wifi232 came today and of course the first chance I got I plugged it into my DOS computer, found some terminal software online, and logged into the Big Beautiful System run by @nicky flowers!

I may need to find more suitable terminal software (at least software that doesn't nag me to register every time I shut down) but like this is pretty cool tbh.

The Wifi232 is a device that plugs into the serial port of an old computer and emulates a Hayes modem while doing telnet connections over wifi, so you can get old computers connecting to telnet BBSes! Which is kinda great!
