| | |
| mtconv is to be a "screen" type intermediary for Model Ts interacting with a bash session.
| |
| | |
| == Details ==
| |
| | |
| * Perform mappings between the Model T character sets to/from Unicode
| |
| * Detect TPDD 'ZZ' escapes to enter into the TPDD disk mode
| |
| * Detect "human speed" space characters to exit from TPDD mode back to interactive mode
| |
| * Handle both the T102/T200 and the M100 character set
| |
| * Configure termcap settings for the pty, including Width x Height dependent upon laptop model
| |
| * mtconv will "wire-up" the external LaddieAlpha program dynamically at runtime to handle TPDD I/O
| |
| * Filter out color escapes
| |
| | |
| == Larger Goals ==
| |
| | |
| mtconv is to be a key part of a MTIS "Model T Internet Service". Model Ts will connect through the Internet to individual accounts on the MTIS. MTIS will support email, IRC, simple search, web browsing, and file storage.
| |
| | |
| Connection to MITS will normally occur via a serial->Internet bridge device.
| |
| | |
| The Serial->Internet bridge is out of scope for MITS. Possibilities include
| |
| | |
| * Wired connection to PC or host laptop
| |
| * A Bluetooth dongle + cell phone bridge app
| |
| * A Wifi+TCP/IP intefaced via expansion port to Model T
| |
| * RS232<->Wifi bridge
