Can the wifi modem on the VT132 be used by another computer via a modem cable to take advantage of the wifi connection? E.g. if I connect it to an Atari ST, can I use terminal software on the ST dial out via the modem on the VT132?

Maybe this is obvious and I'm missing the point, but I've only used the modem to dial out via the VT100 terminal so far.

Thanks, Kevin

Kevin, yes. Both the modem and the terminal are on seperate UARTs.

There is a software setting to hook the terminal directly to the modem, bypassing the UARTS. But by default they work independently.

Thank for confirming. I had to order a different serial cable but will try it out soon.

Thanks! Kevin

Cable arrived, hooked it up to my Atari ST and it worked great! Enjoyed calling up some BBSes. Thanks!
