Paul, Thank you, thank you! Yes, please set one aside. I should be there by mid-afternoon. I live in CT so it's a bit of a drive. See you Saturday! Jim On Sun, 3 Dec 2017, Paul Rickards via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

Hi Folks,
WiFi232 guy here. I'll be at Festivus on Saturday and will have a very limited number of WiFi232 modems for $50/ea. Jim, I'll set one aside for you if you'd like.
Ethan, The stock ESP firmware in theory would work, but it's cumbersome and the AT command set isn't Hayes compatible. A previous version of my custom firmware is on GitHub. https://github.com/RolandJuno/esp8266_modem/
As Bill said, a Raspberry Pi running the patched version of tcpser is an option: https://github.com/FozzTexx/tcpser
Leif Bloomquist took this idea a step further and mounted a Pi Zero to a card for the C64 user port. https://hackaday.io/project/9587-raspberry-pi-zero-w-commodore-64-interface-...
Leif also has developed something similar he calls the WiFiTerminal: https://github.com/LeifBloomquist/WifiTerminal
cbmstuff.com has plans for a new WiFi RS-232 modem: https://www.cbmstuff.com/products.php?cat=2
Hope this info helps everyone.
Cheers, -Paul

be forthcoming. If the new has worn off yours, please let me know. Fair price or maybe a trade. Thanks, Jim
You can make something similar with a raspberry pi too.
