ethernet function with it.
Well, I don't know. My guess is it wouldn't work with ADTPro. ADTPro
talks to serial unless you tell it you're talking to Ethernet and _that_
requires an Uthernet II (or maybe one of the others). I don't know that
using the Wifi232 to bridge serial onto Wifi/Tcp is going to allow
ADTPro running on your Windows/Linux/Mac host to see the bridged ADTPro
running on the Apple II.
But I bet David Schmidt would know! :-)
:-)
So, no, this adapter is not going in a direction that would be helpful
with ADTPro. If we were talking 20-30 years ago, and it made sense to
communicate over a phone line with ADTPro between server and client -
then there would be a modem communications layer built in that (for
example) knew how to issue AT commands and store "phone numbers". Then
it would "dial out" and communicate that way. But the problem we have
today is 1) comms over modem doesn't really suit the ADTPro use case,
and 2) the TCP/IP support is hiding _behind_ the modem interface, where
an Apple II can't really get straight at it.
AS an aside....could this be used for connecting an apple ii via serial
to a inet capable bbs (back in the day worldgroup)
In other words...I had 2 apple 22 bbs's 1 fv/metal 4.0xev bbs on a an
apple ii gs and another 1 apple 2 gs with tpro RPB BBS also.
The tpro was dumb...a serial connection worked via a dialup program
in worldgroup msdos bbs.....the fv/metal went thru a phone line
into this dialup program for users to connect
(was amusing to find 256 users of the wg bbs with majormud fighting to
get into the fv/metal 1 line only bbs via worldgroup bbs to play
'spacer quest' lol ) :)
anyway you can see where this is going....supposedly I could use this
modem of yours to either
1) trick the bbs into thinking it is just another tcp/ip connection to
the fv/metal bbs
2) act as a null modem or something to do so
anyway curious..I got one of these from you...if such is possible
may look into it (thou been promising to do that for 10 years no time
this hole bitcoin mining thing came up to fill my geek life)
thanks for whatever 'guess' you can make on this
if anyone want to experiment with how I used a inet windows bbs to
allow all into apple ii bbs's I'd just get below
1) synchronet bbs pkg..plug and play ..should work with windows 7
and maybe 10 everything is there including taking regular door game
programs and allowing multinode w/o a multinode box ..built in
2) then get a bbs dialout door program and try to connect your
apple ii bbs of any flavor in the above manner
the synchronet site is here..free...fun to play with...again look
it over pretty sure it works with windows 7 they also have a msdos
6.21 version (or did)
anyway toss the synrhonet up with GUI on the web add the door program
ad a page to your apple ii bbs and you should be good
me .know I can do it ...just no time
www.synchro.net for plug and play download install
