i've been having fun creating a DEC VT-320 styled interface for
https://tomo.city which led me to rediscovering the Dynix unix system that powered many of our public libraries' catalogue searches in the 80s and 90s.
just found out that until at least 2013, there were still telnettable dynix catalogues out there. sadly, the IPs I tried are all vacant. some of those systems were replaced.
has anyone tried discovering ancient telnettable library catalogues via shodan? share your results!
