That's a good idea. I really should make a video of it, and running Minuet.
It's been a lot of fun mixing retro hardware and software with a modern internet connection
and wifi to making a 32 year old computer go places online.
I can't take any credit for the modem design, or source code. I found this
page on how to make the ESP32 modem and flashed it with with the code.

One thing I would like to sort out with this is setup is that the
connection slows down quite often if a page is over 30KB in size. The first 20KB or so comes
busting in, and then then the connection slows down to what feels like
about the speed of a 1200 baud modem. It must be related to the SLIP
driver or the ESP32 because it's like this with every browser I've tried.
