Best choice for modem emulator

Hello. I have a Wyse WY-99GT terminal I use a Wi-Fi modem emulator with, but the thing has given up the ghost. I want to replace the internals with something better that preferably also has the ability to make those lovely dialup sounds. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd prefer something I can just order already assembled(sans housing, I'll do my own). The terminal connects with a DB25 connector to the terminal, but I can just use a converter for RS232 on it also.

Drawing a cone based on a position and an angle

Alright so this sounds like something I would google, but I couldn't find much for my specific conundrum. I want to draw a cone that starts from a point, and the faces of the cone are drawn based on an angle from 0 to 360 degrees which defines it's spread, and the direction of the spotlight. I specifically need this to draw the way spotlights will light up an area based on the spotlight entity's settings. Does anyone know of any examples I could look at to help me out with the math? Thank you.

I find it hard nowadays to enter littlespace, extremely hard. I can't stop thinking, a lot of times about stuff that worries me. I would really love to slip into that quiet, content, simple mindset that I used to get the moment I got into baby gear and put my pacifier in, but lately I just can't stop ruminating on my worries about life. Whether it's health issues, existential dread, etc... it is just so draining. The only time I get any true solace is either when I get busy with hobbies or I sit down to play a video game that completely draws me in, but... that isn't littlespace. I was hoping someone would have some advice, something that helps them de-stress. Thank you.
