Robert has the best question ever sent into the show...

I've got a coding question. I maintain a 1980s radar system for the faa. It is a massive software project almost entirely in C that we have recently ported to machines running various versions of Linux.

I'm currently working on converting it from using 32 serial ports for subsystem and external communications to IP based communications systems in preparation for the TDM circuits no longer being supported by Telecom carriers. One of the items to convert is a curses based terminal that is used for monitoring and control. I was thinking of converting it to a web based application, however I've only worked on this one system for the last 25 years.

 What would be your recommendation for frameworks, packages, languages, ... to look at in order to accomplish this part of the task?
