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.
