Modem with a Pi
modems are gone : even worse, you cant connect your old retro home
computer, even to a bbs... or... maybe you can! :
we can use a raspberry pi board, which will be our modem. then, we can
connect our home micro to the raspberry, with a serial connection rs232
and use an old terminal program, to connect to a bbs or even the web.
its an easy process... the difficult part is the usb2serial connection,
for the rpi, but there are many solutions for that. the easiest way is to
buy an all ready be made cable from the store. else you can build your own
solution with cheap parts.
i dont want to just copy/paste the document in here... it wouldnt be
fair so i am posting some links, which have implemented both ways for
setting up the rpi.
