Sneak peak on what I'm working on for Marchintosh this year. A modern telnet client for System 6 classic 68k macs called Flynn.

Originally started building it with Claude Code since NCSA Telnet doesn't work well with ctrl, esc, tmux and other utilities I use on unix based systems.

Started it last night and now has VT100, VT220, xterm and font support. Plan for 1.0 release will have a dark mode and a few other tweaks.

Flynn 1.0.1 is released and usable for day-to-day telnet things.

I dropped it into a few shared folders on #globaltalk shares and added it to both Macintosh Garden and Macintosh Repository.

Feel free to try it out, test it, break it and let me know of any issues. I already have a list of features to add to 2.0 and plan to start working on those later this week.

@micheal Claudecode on the Mac Classic makes me uneasy.

@noodle it is a bit strange, but also surprising usable. It also gave me the idea to add color and emojii support on System 7 for Flynn 2.0 to make Claude look as you would expect.

@micheal That's worse though.
