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.

Released Flynn 1.9.4 today, a new Telnet client for 68k Macs. Includes many new features - 256 color, multi-session, ANSI-BBS terminal, additional emojii/glyphs, and many many bug fixes.

I've spent a lot if time testing and doing QA and it works well. Goal for next release is to improve drawing, latency and performance on my Macintosh Plus.

If you try it out and have any feedback or bug reports, please let me know.

Disk images are up on Github and Macintosh Garden.
