What is this?

A recreation of the typical network you would have found in many schools during the the 1990's. It primarily consists of a Novell Netware server with IBM LAN Classroom Administration installed.

In addition to the base system, a collection of software and games have been installed, some of which would have been part of the official curriculum, and others that would have been unsanctioned and used in secrecy at lunch (Doom).

The system is powered by a combination of physical era-appropriate equipment (ps/2 servers, token-ring etc) as well as modern virtualization and networking were required.

There are also some additional aspects in the works including an IBM S/390 accessable via the Novell 3270 emulation client, and both a physical modem bank attached to a PRI to dial out to legacy bbs's still available over phone, and a virtual modem bank for accessing telnet BBS's.
