Download (precompiled for Java 1.5, or the source) a Supdup-enabled version of the Java Telnet application. The original code is fairly easy to add plugins to, but so far I had to hardcode the use of the supdup terminal emulator, so this version is only useful for Supdup.

handle MacOS X Escape key and Control-Space, and supply a MacOS application (.tar.gz). (The Alt key doesn't work yet.)

avoids idle (logged-in) disconnection by periodically sending a “keep-alive” to ITS.

supports the SAIL character set! Thanks MMcM!

To run, use

  java -jar supdup.jar [hostname]

Note that the window can be resized, but the change only gets through to ITS at connection time (due to the Supdup protocol). Note also that you can use Ctrl+X for non-alpha X, e.g. digits, at least in Linux - it doesn't seem to work in Windows. Note also that you can use it as an applet, if your Java sandbox allows.

Things to do on a rainy day:

• implement the graphics extension (RFC746) (and port Spacewar?)
• add a plugin for Chaosnet (over the CHUDP protocol, see here) to connect to Chaos-only hosts
