Old Laptops on the Internet - Video and info links

This is cool! I love old Computers and Electronics. I have a Radio Shack TRS-80. And I have been wondering if I could get it to connect to the Internet. By setting up a ZigBee Wireless Connection to my Router. Or by Sharing a Network Connection, with a Computer, via Ethernet. Just for fun... This guy, does it with two old Laptops, in his Video (below). And he provides some interesting links, to pages, that he followed to set it up for a Dialup Connection. I still have a NetZero Dial up account, just in case my Cable Connection, goes down. And I start getting Internet Withdrawal Symptoms;) So, might be able to try this, without his "Ringer Circuit". That he built. Still, very interesting. Reminds me of the Windows 98 Home Networking, via Modem...

I had a bunch of old dial up modems around, so I decided to do something more . . . er . . . I wouldn't say useful.....

The modems connect through a "dial in server" which I was able to make after following a bunch of tutorials I found. Apparently some combination of them makes it work. The idea behind the thing is that you are supposed to dial up from a remote location and access your own network, kind of like VPN, but the connection is over phone lines instead of the internet. But it also works perfectly well to connect these old computers back onto the internet the way it was done back then. I used Ubuntu 10.04 since it is still supported until next year and has an old enough kernel for my (win)modem to work on it.

I got the server to work using

plus some additional Googling and much head scratching.

Flash Player Put out an important Update Today! (07-08-14) Firefox and other Web Browsers are Vulnerable to Log-on Theft

Flash Player ha an Update Today (07-08-14)! Firefox is Vulnerable to Log-on Theft, along with other Web Browsers as well. But, Chrome and Internet Explorer are suppose to Auto Update Flash. You can check your Firefox Plugins, here about:plugins. And here, about:addons. Once you get there. You can click on the link (Check to see if your plugins are up to date) at the top of your Firefox Plugins Page. To see if they are updated. Note: My Flash Player, showed to be, "up to date". But, I downloaded the newest Flash Version here, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. And ran the update Patch any way. And it did install and update my Flash Player. It will stop and tell you, if you already have the version you are trying to install, on your system. For Fedora Linux. When you click on the "flash-plugin-your-version-here-.rpm" file, that you downloaded. If it opens the file in an Archive Manager, instead of running the installation. Then right click on the file in Krusader or your favorite file manager. And then select, "open with", "Package Installer" (see the Screen Shot below). Then the installation will start up and you can do the installation easily, from there...
