Field notes
The homepage points visitors to separate technical and archive sections, including material on what the project found, recreated, and remains unsure about. It lists two access routes—retro MS-DOS hardware with a WiFi modem, or DOSBox on Windows, macOS, or Linux—and identifies the client as version 2.22. The realm is marked “Opening soon,” with dial-up access described as a future addition.
