It's fun stuff.  Perhaps mine is one of the articles you read.

I setup the Apple //c in my office to serve as a serial terminal for
use with IRC.  I set this up after being inspired by PDW's story:

I've also set four other machines up, three of which I've documented.

TRS-80 Model 4:

The fourth is my recently acquired (unenhanced) Apple IIe.  On the
IIe, oddly, I am having some issues w/ CRs registering.  I have an
enhancement kit headed my way from Reactive and am in the process of
purchasing the latest version of ProTERM as a disk image to see if
that helps.

For all of the projects so far I've used Modem MGR, a free VT220-
capable terminal app that works on the ][ plus on up.  Doing IRC on
the Apple II's gives me a real use for them every day.  I love it.

See my 3-headed MacBook!
