@vfrmedia @squirrel if i end up owning it, that's basically what's destined to occur, probably with a rock64 sbc inside providing the linux box (and hopefully something slightly better than 1200bps eventually)

@djsundog @vfrmedia could be nice if you did the same thing someone did with that 90s police car computer and just replace the entire guts of it with an sbc which drives the crt itself

@squirrel @djsundog @vfrmedia lol like the one from blues brothers

@er1n @djsundog @vfrmedia oo did that movie have one? i don't remember

i'm talking about https://hackaday.com/2018/03/17/from-cop-car-data-terminal-to-retro-computer/

@squirrel @djsundog @vfrmedia yeah exactly this shit

@er1n @squirrel @vfrmedia the minitel deserves no less tbh

@djsundog @er1n @squirrel @vfrmedia Stupid idea I just had.

Asterisk server with a whole Minitel emulation federation behind it.

Add ATA and Minitel terminal, and dial into it.

@bhtooefr @er1n @squirrel @vfrmedia

I would be willing to jump through an absolutely unreasonable number of flaming hoops to connect to a modern bootleg minitel federation
