haha, that telnettable one was actually like version 2 or 3 of my Tir. version 1 was mid90s renegade where i used every single available command to replace the interface to fake a "unix machine" -- trying to stick with the whole shadowrun/matrix thing.  anyway, i had to dumb it down once i discovered there was a limit.

i'm paraphrasing a bit here because i can't remember the actual commands, but for example, there was no "press m for messages" stuff, i made you "cd messages" and run "./read" or if you wanted to download you had to "cd files" and "ls"

my teenager mind thought this was awesome.  in hindsight it probably scared off a ton of people.
