ncc74656's Journal: Dust off your Apple II and run your website on it

In a post to comp.sys.apple2, Simon Williams announced that he has a website running on an Apple IIe. It's a 64K machine with a floppy drive, running a Contiki-based webserver. Instead of a serial card and a terminal server, it's directly connected to the network with an Uthernet card (basically, an Apple II slot adapter for an off-the-shelf embeddable Ethernet module). He says it's a bit fussy as to what will connect to it, but Firefox on both Windows and Linux works for me.

That is so cool

Really awesome - and glad I got to see it before some popular site finds it and kills it.

There was talk of a possible slashdotting of it in comp.sys.apple2, but I'm not sure if this JE is turning up in the firehose yet...it only shows up if I search for my stuff, even though it's been submitted as a possible story.

Speaking of the internet and Apple IIs, I've been mucking around with KEGS trying to get Internet access with Marinetti. My approach thus far has been to modify the KEGS virtual modem driver to disable the telnet interpreter and allow any port to be used (both switchable and accomplished via new AT commands). I configured xinetd on a Linux box to answer to a port and launch pppd on it. However, it always fails during PPP negotiation :(.

I need to set up my real IIgs and see if I can get the connection to
