Connect to my serial/Wifi device right now

Guys,

Brian (blittled) and I are at the shop at Propellerpowered today..

We've got one of those Bulkbuy wifi/serial devices hooked up as a server in workstation mode on my network.
(I think I've got the address routed in from the outside world correctly on the router.)

TELNET 24.239.254.21 8080 using the TELNET (putty) command in Windows/DOS

Test ended.. Working on a much more detailed program for later.

There is no notification, just telnet and then start typing. If this works we'll see your text on this side.
Also, we've got four connections already here in the shop "party-line" so I want to see how far we can push this.

Jeff

    Someone try it again with port 8080.. I'm not sure if windows telnet supports the port change, but I know putty will.

    TELNET 24.239.254.21 8080 - works

    Good test all! Thanks!

    I'll post some results of this on this thread soon for those who have bought or are considering the wifi serial modules.

    Let's just say, I'm even more impressed now than I was..

    Here's the "Quick & Dirty" howto to getting them setup in a tcp server mode.

    I had 32 connections open during my test and could have written the Propeller terminal to simply echo back the data to everyone who connected.

    Nothing more complicated than FullDuplexSerial is required to work with these.
