You may now point your terminal (emulator) of choice towards office.c3post.de:4711 and try the first version of the #38c3 Terminal Office (make sure to disable local echo/linefeed conversion stuff).

If you have socat available you can use basically any common terminal emulator with this command: socat stdio,raw,echo=0,echoctl=0 tcp-connect:office.c3post.de:4711

See next posts for telnet/netcat instructions.

For telnet you can try the following:

Start "telnet" without connecting to any host yet.

Type "unset echo", press return.

Type "open office.c3post.de 4711", press return

Goto the telnet prompt (I need to press ^] for that)

Enter "mode character", press return.

You should now be able to use the service normally. Output might look garbled. Press Ctrl+L to force a redraw.

For netcat this commandline works:

stty raw -echo; nc office.c3post.de 4711; stty -raw echo

Note: This assumes you are on a system with stty avaiable (not Windows, idk about macOS).

It configures your terminal, connects and then restores it after you've disconnected.

@ChaosPost hadn't figured out how to do it from the server end?

@wowaname If you're talking about the telnet part: It's not a telnet server we're using so we'd have to implement/integrate one.

The netcat part we can't do server side for technical reasons.

Also accessing this via socat/netcat/telnet isn't the intended way to access it in the first place (this was made for the on-site retro networking dial-in system).

If we want to offer this over the regular internet in the future we'll most likely hook it up to an ssh server.

@ChaosPost both variants are royally broken on termux on android. telnet draws it once, accepts no commands or inputs. stty: "lolNOPE. i just dont."

@Kamikazepinguin ¯_(ツ)_/¯ It's not meant for direct us anyway. That was just for people to test their terminal emulators with for compatibility. It's meant to be used with the 38c3 on site retro networking dialup network. There will be a version made for connecting with ssh somewhen after congress. ^tr
