Supposedly they emulate a Hayes-modem over wifi somehow. Anyone tried this? How do you "fake" the connection into the PC over wifi, do . you need two of the serial/wifi bridge adapters?

Not sure what you are trying to do but if only transfer files or access internet then you should only need one and use it to connect to a wifi router. From there you should be able to setup a local access if you want to send files from a diff computer. No never used pc-anywhere with a wifi adapter but did using null modem cables....
