Simulation... Hmmm... You're examples were using notepad and iexplorer. 
For notepad, ssh into the server and use vi. For iexplorer, explore 
lynx, a terminal based web browser. Then again, why would you need to be 
on the server to browse the web with a browser - just browse the web 
from your desktop.

Other examples? Other "simulations". You will not like each simulation 
though...
