I will poke around in syncterm and see if I can find the option then. I was hoping to get it to run on my DOS PC where I'm using a wifi232 device and Telemate but god knows if it's possible to make that sort of setup talk in unix linebreaks haha

Aaand I figured it out 😅
The WiFi232 was sending its Probe Request on channel 1. Once I changed my AP to use channel 1, I got an immediate connection!

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a post by Paul Rickards (https://mastodon.social/@paulrickards/110153034470766163) about a device he makes.
It's a WiFi card that pretends to be a Hayes modem over an RS-232 serial connection.
In unrelated news, I have poor self-control, and a USB-to-serial cable.

@paulrickards can you celebrate your 10,000th tweet by shipping more Wifi232? :)

I'm on Level 29 too but I still have to get my Wifi232 modem unfucked, or maybe I'll just use Hyperterm on my Packard-Bell

I've opened Wireshark to investigate. The WiFi232 by default sends beacon frames for its ad-hoc AP (which I can connect to), and then on ATC1 it switches to sending a periodic Probe Request for the target SSID until it times out. But I can't find Probe Responses from my AP! For any device!

I’ve been trying to make a wifimodem/wifi232 out of an ESP-01. I had a couple in my bits box from playing around with arduinos years ago. One had NodeMCU on it, the other a very old AT firmware.
I tried flashing a newer AT firmware via a PL2303, which appeared to complete successfully, but it […]
