My name's Rich, and I created theoldnet.com! My mission is to get old computers connected to the world again!
I am creating software, hardware and internet services, which work together to provide a one-of-a-kind experience.
I think vintage computers can be given a new life with network connectivity. Allowing us to do much more with them than we could before.
I think we should all be able to experience the dawn of the Web for some historical context and for fun.

The Old Net was at VCF Southwest 2023, in Dallas Texas! For this event we wrote a telnet chat app in Node JS and used that to connect an HP 200LX, a TRS-80 M100, and a Dell Latitude together so that attendees could chat with each other.
These vintage systems were all connected using our Serial to WIFI adapters. The M100 has a special version of the adapter designed just for it. It features a low profile design, and is powered from the M100's barcode reader port. This is the first truly portable WIFI solution for the M100 series.

this is so cool, really like the look + aesthetic of it
I had a Model 100 in 1983, predominantly used it to connect to the local collection of BBS's (which I discovered via a physical message board at the local Radio Shack), I'm seriously tempted to buy one off of eBay just so I can get your WiFi modem!
You think it's ASCII, but the TSR-80 is trying to activate skynet.
How do I setup this device with my bbs for telnet connections?
Yes
like... HOW?
i cant access the old net
Nice...
I'm trying to figure this out in windows 98
Huge thanks for this amazing project! Just connected my Toshiba T1200 Laptop to the Internet in both modes - Modem and SLIP, works great!
For all of you wondering where you'd get the TCP/IP control panel - it's part of Open Transport. You don't need to update your OS, you just need to grab Open Transport from e.g. the Macintosh Garden and install it.
Can one create an FTP server on a home PC and have it serve as a wireless file server for the Model 100?
Followed your steps except for a higher baud rate (38400) but all i get after hitting "open" is a "MacPPP: resource error" modal. Any idea as to why? Works fine with ZTerm though
Do you think it might be possible in the not so distant future for A.I to take care of the broken links? Meaning that as your code is taking care of finding links on the Archive, those it can't find will have an A.I system going through the internet looking for at least screenshot and webpages talking a out them (kinda like a patching stuff together, better than a blank screen)
A little bit of narration would go a long way
How do I use SLIP with the version 6 oldnet modem?
Hello! My modem's playing up, and I was wondering whether you might have any pointers. I have a V3 that displays in terminal as if it's set to the wrong baud rate after flashing and only displays correctly after re-flashing the firmware, and then the only response it gives to commands is 'ERROR', and becomes mangled again after holding FLASH for five seconds. While I would put this down to updating the firmware, it was working perfectly, and in fact better than it was previously. Then it died out of nowhere nearly ten minutes later. SIT-REP: it started working. 😂
1000th
Fit a Raspberry Pi inside there with a color display and you've got a perfect mini PC
Nah, it’s perfect as it is.
@theoldnet: Did you use the STA or AP Mode? When STA Mode is the Peer-Adress ignored? Could yoeu please post the output of your show-comannd from inside the telnet-session of the esp-slip-router? Thanks in advance :)
this is cool af but with bluescsi and wifi now its not as useful anymore but if there wasnt bluescsi i would have went with this
This needs more attention!
is theoldnet down or sold?
This website is not working anymore. Did it get shut down?
is theoldnet website down or something? tried to use it and I am getting allot of page not found errors? Thought maybe it was somoething to do with my firewall but tried another computer on a different network and I still get the same issue. Man it would suck if this site went away!
My TheOldNet shows a date in 2020 when it first boots up. How do I acquire and install new firmware? Can I do this on my modern Mac? Do I need a USB to DB-9 cable to be able to do this?
I was trying to look up some ezboards from back in the day but it wont work?

Awesome! Good idea to use with my HP 95LX.

Holy crap that's cool, I've used them on my c64 before
Let's say I have one of these ESP8266-based WiFi modems (not yours but similar) and I mainly use it with ProComm for BBSing but I'd like to ALSO create a setup where I can tell my Win98SE PC to "dial" into a fake Internet provider and get web browsing in Windows 98 - and I want to do this WITHOUT flashing the firmware away from the Hayes-compatible modem firmware. I also want to be able to disconnect from my fake dial-up service and go right back to BBSing with ProComm. I've been told this is possible, using a Pi running a SLIP server, but I've never been able to find a tutorial for setting this up with one of these WiFi modems. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
That was Rapid Unscheduled Obsolescence!
😂
in some other videos i saw replicas of DEC PDP’s which i thought were cool wish i went
I was the woodgrain C64 setup. Wish I'd stopped by and talked to y'all! Next year definitely
I don't think this computer fad is going to take off. It's too nerdy and people will never understand it or want to pay thousands of dollars on equipment. 🤣
This modem works with all these HP Palms?
Thanks for the video, and I recently received my wifi modem. It works great on my model 100 at 300 baud. Have you been able to figure out how to get higher speeds? If I try 2400 or 9600 it seems to partially work but gets some garbage. I can not get 19200 to work at all. Great little product. Make putting files on the model t so much easier.
Just going from memory here, the Model 100 terminal wasn't great at keeping up with data beyond around 600 baud. Try 1200 if that's an option. I wonder if anyone ever made an improved terminal program.
Do you know what computer that giant RAM goes to?
I'm not sure the guy had one system set up with the ram integrated but I didn't catch the name.
@@TheOldNet Gotcha. Great footage of this event!
Great video of this event! You’ve got a new subscriber!
Fantastically done! So great to see you and hang out at VCFSW!!
cool stuff.
🌷 "promosm"
I need help, no matter what terminal i use and what settings it is always echoing what i type and makes it hard to use
is there something like that that can use plain old ethernet rj-45?
Love the sustainability aspect of low power use case.
Super cool! Can't wait to meet you at VCFSW.
