- Best way to go about using 2000 on the modern web.

Connect to internet
Browservice - proxy but goes one step further and renders the page and actually only sends back a clickable image to the browser on the old machine. Almost like screensharing.

The Home Dialup ISP: Bell 103 through V.92 with automatic call recording
I have a [Browservice](https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice) server set up for the faster machines, which basically streams images, and a [retroproxy](https://github.com/humbertocsjr/retroproxy) service for the slower machines :)

I can barely believe what I am seeing...
Original iMac G3 (the very first) running Mac OS X 10.1 and Netscape 7.01. The magic comes from this program : https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice

make ie6 render pages normally.
Browservice may be suitable if you have to use IE6 and you're OK using a proxy system.

If you're happy with OpenBSD, probably any computer is good enough
"browservice" will render web pages server-side and then deliver them to your browser as an image with simple javascript.
It works in virtually all "old" browsers and can be very useful for older computers.

Only thing I'm sad about is I cannot view r/windows98 on my Win98..
TL;DR: Read the entirety of Readme.md (it's at the bottom of https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice). If you still have specific questions, i'll try to help.

How to create a Virtualbox modem/LAN connection for Windows 98?
Check out browservice; either run it on your host, or in another VM.

Current Google Chrome in 32-bit XP: Easy Mode
A 4th gen i7, the VM gets 2.3 GB, but I've done similarly stupid stuff on an AMD Athlon 64 (sluggish but usable, 720p YT dropping frames but watchable). Browservice running in a VM to serve XP's IE8 is another fun Goldbergian trick.
- My Sealed Copy of Netscape 2.0 for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Cant wait to open it up. Itll be like the 90s all over again

X11 Forwarding For Application Distribution
I’m also interested in this. As an aside, you’ll be interested in what this person accomplished. They have several apps which implement this framework that was setup. E.g. this one. But there are several others, within their main level repo.

Is there a flavor of Linux/Application that handles VNC/remote access well?
otherwise I recommend this container based setup that would allow your QA and devs to work directly in a navigator, and you to run as many of those as you want on a single host: https://github.com/jlesage/docker-baseimage-gui

Running rmlint gui through docker on a DS220+
I found a different docker image that suggests I can run arbitrary GUI applications and a forum post that seems to have got it working on a different NAS system.

The base image (https://github.com/jlesage/docker-baseimage-gui/blob/master/Dockerfile.debian) installs X11 (a very simple window manager), X11VNC (A VNC server) and NoVNC (A web VNC client).
