Re: QL <-> MOXA Nport 5150A and Internet! Surf on Telnet connected BBS
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2024 10:30 am
Hello to all,
Nice to hear from you all about similar projects, etc (some of them already implemented some years ago)
Let me say that the Simulant Wifi Modem appears our of stock today. Same status like some months ago when I wanted to get something to connect to Internet and BBSes.
This is why I got interested to the always available MOXA Nport series.
But it is important to mention again the much more possibilities of the MOXA NPort serial servers.
Some include:
1. Internet access and connection to TELNET based BBSes
2. Direct Chat of QL to any PC connected to the Internet (PC just needs to be connected to internet. No extra HW there)
3. Printing (connection) of QL to a printer (or any serial device) which is not directly attached to the QLs serial port. Printer (or serial device) can be at the other side of the globe (attached to a paired NPort also)
4. Many more...
I think at some time I will prepare another document to describe some other additional interesting Nport operational modes related to QL.
Thanks for your feedback!
