@MegaMichelle @FediTips 20 years ago we did that with a Philips P2000T and P2000C. The machine was more or less a terminal. We had internet with the text browser, "links".

I had a TRS-80 Model 100 set up as a terminal once. It has like 6 lines of text or whatever, so instead of "links", I ran "w3m" which doesn't put anything ui elements on the screen.

It was too annoying to use, though, because of all the cables and converters I needed to get its modem port plugged into the usb port of a real computer.

@MegaMichelle @FediTips Just found out in my archive that the interface was a linux computer and the software used was Mgetty for the communication between the P2000C and the Linux machine. The linux working group within the Dutch HCC (Hobby Computer Club) developed the interface for us.
