If you liked that, check out www.lantronix.com . They have the same kind
of products, but you can get an 802.11 version! I'm thinking about
getting one to hook up to my VTech Helio, but I'm worried about the
protocol. Basically, all the device does is take your serial data and
wrap it in a ethernet & TCP/IP header (or telnet, or FTP, whatever
protocol you choose that is available). So you still need do some low
level programming to get your serial data to come out the way you want,
i.e. as a proper TCP body section of the packet. But, considering
everything they've already done for you, that's not too much too ask.
