Submission + - Text based UI: which one?
JHWH writes: I've been asked to design and implement a management software system with text based user interface as the replacement of an older one running on AS/400.
Despite my attempts towards a web UI, the customer is actually willing to have a text based UI.
The main reasons are the need for a very low bandwidth and the ability to run on serial terminals. All this in the 21st century!
Host systems will be Linux, the language will be C or C++.
I already thought about the use of text based browsers like lynx or links. But I fear user interaction could be less powerful that a plain text interface.
So now I have to wipe the dust away from my ncurses manual.
Or is there anyone suggesting something more effective?

I'd rather just believe that it's done by little elves running around.
