I need to get my mac to emulate a UNIX machine so I can test CGI & perl scripts on a website on a UNIX server from the command line?
Any tried and tested solution for this much appreciated. Many thanks
OS (9.0.4)
imacdv G3 400
320 mb ram

Get Mac OS X (www.apple.com/macosx). Since it is basically UNIX, you should have no problem.

You could just telnet to your remote UNIX environment. I use NiftyTelnet to do this but there are many others to choose from in the classic Mac OS... and telnet of course, comes with Mac OS X and PPC distro's of Linux.
Another option would be to open (and edit) remote files using FTP... I use the "open in BBEdit" feature in Transmit to do this all the time - heck you could pretty much do the same thing using BBEdit's handy built-in FTP browser.
There are also Mac VNC clients to run UNIX environments remotely. Or if you're really feeling wacky, you could install an x86 version of Linux using VPC (though, why bother).
Have fun!

You can either use telnet or , if the site supports it, use macssh. This is a ssh application for classic macOS and will allow you to do what you want.
