So I have a couple Wifi modem variants and am pretty happy with them. They really brought me back to the days of BBS'ing. However without having a pots line in almost 20 years Having vintage modems is pretty pointless. I klnow most collectors feel that way. There are a few folks on youtube who collect and use old and very Ancient modems which is interesting.
It got me thinking. Besides the Wifi-modems, are there any devices out there or in the works which allow you to connect a conventional dial up modem to a device that essentially turns it into a wifi modem? For instance I have a Actrix Matrix Luggable CPM computer with a built in modem AND acoustic couplers built into it.
It would be really great to use its onboard modem again.
Anyone else have thoughts on a device that could utilize an old dial up modem for modern usage?
