     @en4rab not sure what is scarier. The Windows 3.11 or that it is remote.

     @xyhhx @Schouten_B @mpldr @en4rab Occasionally I am wondering whether ICE seat reservations are still being applied via sneaker net aka floppy transfer protocol like it was 2013 and this answer extends my horizon to boldly go where it wasn't supposed to before.

     @mpldr @en4rab Looking at this in more detail, I've yet to be able to find any evidence that this is for a train company. I've found the original job offer, but nothing in it talks of trains.

     It also explicitly talks about MS-DOS, so it does sound like a genuine Win 3.11 system. Probably not for a train though.

     @mpldr @en4rab What I'm surprised about is Windows 3.11 isn't an OS. So what is there to administrate? (As said, I would also hope those machines are air gapped these days)
