Hi Guys,
I bought on of these https://www.simulant.uk/shop/retro-vintage-co … ayes-compatible
and I am trying to set this up with my old compaq portable 386 running windows 95.
I've gotten pretty far in that through the AT commands I issue in Hyperterminal, I managed to get the wifi connected and the serial connection working.
However, I'm stumped at how to use this device as a modem for windows 95 to view as a connection. So I can visit old websites that are still online, and watch windows 95 try to load a modern website, you know, just for fun.
I've managed to generate a connection, but the problem is that Windows 95 (and i'm assuming all dialup networks at the time) require a login and password. My connection works in that it passes the "Dialling" phase, then goes onto "Verifying username and password" and then it gets stuck. The computer keeps sending the modem information but there is no reply. Anyone know how to get these wifi to serial "modems" to respond to this? Does anyone know what AT commands I might need to issue to let windows 95 know that the username and password are "correct" ?
Anyone else using one of these devices or their similar counterparts? Is it a hardware incompatibility? or something that can be fixed through issuing the right AT commands?
Any help appreciated!
