Working from home on the Apple IIc+ #VintageComputing @Apple

In honor of Apple’s 44th birthday today, Ryan ‘Gozar’ Collins decided to set up an Apple //c+ computer as a terminal using a homebuilt wifi modem.

Getting modem.mgr going was not fun, but once I read the manual and figured it out, I was good to go. The VT220 emulation didn’t give me any problems, even with unicode characters. I was able to connect at 19.2K without issue also.

I didn’t use the 9″ screen for very long, it was just too small at 80 columns. I dug out an AppleColor Composite Monitor IIe (say that ten times fast) and used it for the majority of the day.

See the blog post here.
