I guess what Im looking for is a webserver and hotspot so I can use my cell phone and log in and look at the info the bs2 collected at a remote location.
For a wireless connection to a Basic Stamp, you can use a WiFly module (same form-factor as the xBees) plugged into a 5V/3.3V xBee adapter. These are not high power, so the range won't be huge ... probably similar to other WiFi hotspots. It can use an existing WiFi network though and can be accessed via the Internet. Read the documentation carefully to see its capabilities.
guess I'm not wording correctly, I think I need an access point and a web server module, parallax used to have a web server module made by net something.
might be able to use this module but I have never used telenet and not sure how to do this on my android phone.
I've done something like this in the past using a Parallax P.I.N.K. (NetBurner SB-70) and a TrendNet TEW430AP access point.
Basic Stamp 2 >> SB-70 >> TEW430AP
The Basic Stamp writes variables to the SB-70. These variables are included in a web page served by the SB-70, with the correct setup you can access the SB-70 from anywhere over the internet.
Parallax doesn't sell the P.I.N.K. anymore, but you can still get one from NetBurner. They do have the Spinneret, I have no experience with it but it may work. The TEW430AP has also been discontinued, but if you go to Newegg.com and search for "wireless access point" you should find several decent models under $50 - probably from either TP Link or TrendNet.
here is another module, if I remember correctly the pink was not an access point you had to have it connected to your WAN then you could access it ?? and Yes netburner that was the name I could not remember thank you.
this device has a web page built in with access point so it should be a stand alone unit for a remote location that could be monitored from a distance. how far ?

Yes, that is what the TEW430 is for. The SB-70 connects to the WAN through the TEW430. You're going to need to get the data (or whatever you want to see over the internet) out of the Stamp and into whatever device you use to connect with.
what I was going to connect with is a E-vehicle and read controller data so I wanted a stand alone product for I-phone android phone or a Pad, Plus I could do remote monitoring in the mountains and not have to download data with a pc and cables.
no networks where Im going, thought a few simple webpages with updating data every so often would work for me. thats what the back of my head is saying once i get into it it will be a book.
WiFi just doesn't have the range you appear to want. Digi has some 900MHz wireless modules with ranges up to 28 miles with good (high-gain) external antennas. These function somewhat like the xBee modules in that they provide a wireless bi-directional serial link. You won't be able to use an iPhone or iPad with it without some interface hardware, but could use it with an Android device with a serial interface.

Generally a wifi router will act as a wifi hotspot if you install the right firmwear, like OpenWRT.

Some wifi routers do have a few serial ports that can then be activated to attach directly to a BasicStamp.
I have an Asus WL-500p and it would work if I modified the motherboard to have a serial port.
Try openwrt.org to find the right wifi router and firmware to do the job.
