I have one of those ASCII keyboards too. They’re awesome.

Though I use mine for Phantasy Star Online (PSO) rather than Animal Crossing.

Amazingly, there are still PSO servers available which are still very active. All the more impressive when you think that Sega discontinued their official servers around a decade ago.

I've been meaning to try that out as well. I recently picked up the FlippyDrive Deluxe, which comes with an ethernet connectivity kit. I think the software only supports using it to transfer files over a local network for now, but the idea is that eventually it'll be usable for online play.
