StarTTY transforms your vintage computers into personal information appliances that you'll use every day, all around your home or workplace.

Choose what you want your retro-computer to show: world news headlines, weather forecasts, stock prices, time/date, quotes, jokes, to-do lists, and more. New modules are being added constantly!

All you need is a computer or terminal with:

• Text display at least 40 columns x 7 rows



• An ethernet port OR a serial port plus an ethernet-to-serial device (for example: Lantronix UDS-1100)

To get started:

1. Sign up for a StarTTY.com account.
2. Configure your displays.
3. Use your old machine to TELNET to startty.com on port 50000.

Tips and how-to articles will be posted in the discussion & support forum showing how to connect some common (and not-so-common) devices. Please join in & post yours!
