Nice. Yeah, there have been "wifi modems" out for a while, that connect to
RS232 serial ports or TTL or whatever. Some have been made with flashing LEDs
to look even more like original modems, and one guy even makes boards that
directly replace the boards in existing modems like Hayes 9600, USRobotics 56k,
Atari SX212, etc. You use the same case so it looks just like it did before.
