Have you grown tired of your WiF232 Internet Modem?
I would like to get a WiFi232. It appears a new production "batch" may not be forthcoming. If the new has worn off yours, please let me know. Fair price or maybe a trade. Thanks, Jim

Maybe it's time to just make a new one? It would be easy to have the PCBs made in China SMD then reflow them at the local makerspace. Could probably stuff the boards quickly. The thing I don't know about is the software with the ATDT IP address thing. Not sure if that was custom or if that's how the chipset is configured or what. I think they're those Expressif modules?
Isn't the guy who makes/sells them on this list? <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Sun, Dec 3, 2017 at 2:24 PM, Ethan via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

You can make something similar with a raspberry pi too. Bill Degnan twitter: billdeg vintagecomputer.net
I’d like to see another batch, by the time I got around to trying to order one, after the online articles about them, I wasn’t able to get one. And yes, while something similar could be made with a Pi, I’d personally rather have a “module” I can just plug in, rather than re-creating the wheel. I’m hoping that another batch is made.

Hmm, I’m wondering if the reason he stopped making them is because several other companies (including USR on Amazon, but not sure if it’s the REAL USR) appears to have similar products now, likely Chinese clones, and using the same “name” WIFI232.

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.

Paul, Are they the assembled units you’ll be bringing? While I can solder a bit, SMD soldering is beyond me for several reasons. I will try to show up on Saturday. Things have just been really bad where I live. I don’t have a floor in my kitchen underneath the sink, and most of the wood is moldy and rotted away. And it’s been like that for almost a month and for two weeks, we were unable to use the sinks in out bathroom or kitchen. But all that is a whole ‘nother story, not really appropriate for this thread.

Do you think the demand has died off, or you just don't have the time to fufill orders? Have you thought about selling them as a you-solder it kit versus handling the soldering on your side to cut production time?
Do you think the demand has died off, or you just don't have the time to fufill orders?
I've spoken with Paul Rickards about helping make more units. There's some new competition as mentioned, and unless Paul has a real burning desire to share files then it's probably not worth cloning as I / Manila Gear had planned. After some talking with Bill Degnan and John Morris (Applesauce: https://wiki.reactivemicro.com/Applesauce), I think there are some issue that need to be addressed with the project in order to better support more platforms as well as some missing options. When Morris is done with Applesauce we have plans to tackle some other less relevant projects and this particular one I feel should be pretty simple. And if done correctly can offer a lot more to the retro community than the current solutions. Not sure when the project would start, however I guess about April assuming all goes well with Applesauce in the coming months. Henry S.

Ah cool. The things I'm aware of on Amazon and such aren't really ... aimed at the same market? They're commercial serial servers similar to the Lantronix MSS and MS units, Digi Portserver units and such aimed at commercial people using them for automation, signage, access control systems and such.

Really SSH client support is the only thing I can think of, and that might require more processor ass. The neat thing about the wifi232 (from what I've read) is that it supports ATDT to dial out, so as long as term program doesn't do input restriction you could have a directory of hosts in say -- qmodem. An ISA card might be cool :-) But if you made an ISA card version for the DOS people, you could also leave jumpers to cut or not install and leave off the uart with just pins for serial lines then it could also be installed inside an Amiga 2000ish computers.
Not sure when the project would start, however I guess about April assuming all goes well with Applesauce in the coming months.

I've been very happy using my Lantronix Device for a couple years now. The only think I really want for is a newer model Lantronix device that will take a hostname rather than an IP address. Some of the BBSes I frequent have a VERY dynamic ip address. SSH access would be really nice to have, but honestly I just "dial" into my Linux box and bounce out from there. I was using a rpi as a telnet/ssh 'gateway' for a while, but then needed it for something else, but it worked quite well for that purpose as well. --Jason
