Yes, how does the 8-bit version work?  Can I just plug one into my VIC-20 and somehow "dial up" an internet BBS with any piece of old terminal software?  Also, will this work on the PET computer?

Found the purchase page but no mention of the PET.  I know it says "for the Commodore 8-bit" but just wanted to make sure.

Just an update, the WiModem232 is now in production!

This device supports ALL of the RS-232 lines (Tx/Rx/RTS/CTS/DSR/DTR/DCD/RI) so that you can use it to run a BBS.  Up to 115200 baud is supported (requires baudbandit.device or some other high speed serial.device replacement driver).

The WiModem232 is powered via a USB mini-B connector.  I have been using a portable iPhone charger (with rechargeable batteries) for testing as well as 5v wall wart.  This product is FCC/CE certified and comes with a lifetime warranty.

I expect to have these available next month.

I am definitely buying one for my SuperPET. Is there a waiting list I can be put on?
Or, if not will you be posting here when they are available at your on-line store?
