Hello legOS fans,

I have written a hack to make it possible to connect the IR tower to a
NCD terminal.  Here at university we are using those fan less
terminals, while the servers are in another room.  A NCD has a serial
port, that is accessible via TCP port 87, so I wrote a quick hack to
make dll and firmdl3 supporting it.

This is really a hack, as a patched dll/firmdl3 doesn't work with the
normal serial port anymore, but maybe it's useful for other NCD users.
The patch is at

  http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~delwi/legOS/ncd.diff

There's a short description at the beginning of that diff.

Cool, thanks! I have an old NCD in the garage, I never realized it can be turned into an internet-to-serial-port bridge! -gyug (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
