A pinch of Viewdata - back to the Future in 2023?

For those old enough, BBS surfing was the way we used to get online before the World-Wide-Web was a thing... and here in the UK, the type of BBS you would normally find was a Viewdata system....well, it was until the mid-1980;s when ANSI based BBS took over in popularity.... you can have a glimpse of this with a Viewdata Client that runs well under Wine on FreeBSD...
