Yes it's possible. at least in OSX, and probably in windows. I don't
know about bluetooth support for OS9...
You can use the available scripts on the internet to configure you OSX
box to share it's internet connection via bluetooth. Even if your OSX
box isn't connected to the internet :~)
Then you can use Courier as a speedy text only browser to click on the
links being served by apache on the OSX box.

Like a terminal program you mean? I have PT100 which works pretty well
for me.
