"Dialed" into the Mac Studio wirelessly across the room for some IRCing on old hardware, here as the snow falls. ❄️

I had to modify the plist and shell config scripts I'd setup on the Mac since "upgrading" to macOS 26 Tahoe to get this working without gripes in the terminal.

@paulrickards I assume something based on the @Raspberry_Pi #PiPico / #RP2040 with a matching #Ethernet-HAT would be able to to it.

Espechally since that #uC is easy to obtain and relatively cheap (compared to a #Pi0 / #Pi0W which were used for the #DreamPi #Dialup adaptor and are still not widely available at #MSRP)...

The tricky part would be #Firmware, not #Hardware....

@paulrickards any chance of seeing an #Ethernet232 aside from the #WiFi232?

Bonus points if it can be powered via #PoE...

@AlanyG21 @fuchsiii @foone

For #PCMCIA one would've to likely do a PCIMCIA -> USB 2.0 adaptor or combine a PCMCIA -> Serial chipset with some embedded/industrial WWAN modem like the #SIM700E that acts like a modem and is configered with AT-/Hayes-Commands...

Kinda like the #Wifi232 but basically #5G or #4G and call it the #5G232 or something...

@boilingsteam why not simply use #DesTerm and just #telnet into a #Linux #box using a #Wifi232?

@blakespot Great write up! I'll be selling a small batch of #WiFi232 modems this Saturday at the VCF/System Source Swap Meet outside of Baltimore. What doesn't sell will go in my online shop afterwards. Cheers!

Considering attending the swap meet this Saturday. Currently sold out of #WiFi232 modems so I’m making one of the last batches for a while. Also have lots of #C64 stuff I could sell. Are you going?

(See previous post for swap meet details.)
