TELNET SERVICES
A collection of little services meant to be used from vintage computers over a serial/wifi modem or any telnet client — chat with an AI, check the weather, read about today in history, or pull down ZX Spectrum and Amiga games straight onto real hardware. Everything lives behind one telnet server, so you connect once and pick what you want.
Connect to solvalou.com on port 32323 and, at the service menu, type the name of the service you want. With a Hayes-compatible wifi modem: ATDTsolvalou.com:32323
At any time, press # to open an options menu where you can tweak things to suit your terminal — line length, remote echo, newline format, upper/lower case — or jump to another service.
At the service menu, type: TODAY
Browse historical events from Wikipedia right on your retro computer. Today's events load automatically, and single-key navigation lets you step to older or newer days, jump to the first or last entry, or pick any custom date.
Service: TODAY
