I figured maybe worth mentioning again after all these years ...

I wrote the first version in 2009, overly simple, trying to give
it a more text based feel that we all know of when we connect via
packet, give it a shot, feel free to share with others.

This is a demo / test system, no users, just a universal user. I
update the @ww area from time to time, very limited permissions,
use your callsign, use your name for a password (harmless for a
demo system), then 'ar ww' to view all the latest posts. The URL
for this web based access :

Since I have amprnet routing issues, I am using a tcp proxy
script (written in perl) to redirect my domain name : port
to my JNOS httpvnc service. Years ago, the following :

worked like a charm, doesn't seem to anymore, another story ...

If you are interesting in the PERL program, lookup 'tcp-proxy2.pl'
on the web (by Peteris Krumins). Nice and simple, I use the script
a lot when I'm relocating our servers to different subnets and our
remote sensing can't be reconfigured in a timely manner. This is
a very nice script to use (yeah, I know it's perl, but it works).
