MacNetrek |
||||||
Notes: MacNetrek was designed for use over a modem link so someone with a Mac at home could dial up a unix machine and use it to play. The Mac basically acted as a smart terminal in a way rather reminiscent of Empire; it didn't know anything about netrek except how to draw the pictures and send the keystrokes and mouse events back to the unix box. This client was written to solve the very specific problem of using a non-unix computer with no X11 display, poor TCP support, and no ethernet, to play netrek over a slow modem link. |
