    Well, this isn't the web so much as a BBS or Bullitin Board System. I'm typing on my old original Mystic PI BBS system, just have it hidden here behind my internet connection, still setup and setup to work with FSXNET from Avon. I need to update the setup on this end and perhaps setup an address again. Right now it doesn't have an address anywhere execpt here on my internal internet.
    It has an internal address of http://10.0.0.125/ here on Bcwconnect which is the internal WiFi name I'm typing on. I'm logged in to my Google Account via
    an old IOT Win10 2016 version that just updated at supper time up here today.
    I also have the 2019 version, just not on this system.
    So I logged on to this old Win10 IOT (Internet Of Things) system from here I used Putty to log on to my old internal BBS system at 10.0.0.125. Putty is a terminal program based directly on the old Linux TTY program (pretty much the original Tellitype program from Linux) I'm use to all this having worked back in the 1980's at AT&T Andover MA. I build systems and prototypes there at the time working on Metrobus the first Lightwave project there. Im the son of two EE (Electricial Engineers) and litterally built my first system as a kit system from Polymorphic Systems (Type 88) which was 8080 and S100 based. That was back in the 1977-1980 days. Rewrote Polymorphics BIOS and my own OS and such. Wrote my own modem drivers and such as a teen.
    So basically I always had more of a clue than most. Grew up tinkering with electonics and built things my whole life. So before there was an internet I built my own stuff. My sister got a TRS80 back then and ran CP/M.

    Mystic is a fully setup system from back in the BBS days with most all the bells and whistes the original writer added over the years much as Linus did
    with Linux. Well that's enough battling this old Keyboard/mouse on this old
    IOT system. Will type more some other day - Brian AKA BCW142@ a number of emails.
