       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.
