Today we're going online, 90's style! Well, a retrofuturistic 1990's where Hayes-compatible dial-up modems could connect to a magic internet signal that permeates the air - WIFI!

We're trying out an awesome RS232 WiFi modem emulator from TheOldNet, which requires a little bit of work to get running on old Macs. But maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to live out a dream I mentioned in my very first-ever YouTube video.
