[Coco] Coco on the internet

[Aaron Wolfe]

If by "surf the internet" you mean view web pages, no, not in any useful way.

If you mean access or provide other types of content using the
internet, sure there are many things you can do with a coco.

Using DW4 and OS9 you can telnet in or out of your Coco.  You can run
a web server on the coco and serve up dynamic content or files off the
OS9 drive.  You can run an internet accessible BBS or make any text
mode OS9 program available to internet users (depending on terminal
controls needed, some work better than others).  You can send emails
from the coco.  There are a couple IRC clients that never quite seem
to get finished.  You can download the contents of FTP, HTTP, SCP and
other types of URLs to your OS9 drive, handy for grabbing coco
software from rtsi and other internet sites.  You can set up a UUCP
site.  You can write any TCP client or server using standard I/O and
any OS9 language, BASIC09 or C or (whatever).
