I'm looking to hack a wireless router so that it has a serial port, and a version of UNIX with a telnet client, Lynx, and a text-based menu that selects one of those two on bootup, and it needs to foward all information in plain ASCII out the serial port at 9600 or 19000 baud. (88n1e or 98n1e on a m100).
I am wanting to use this so that my TRS-80 Model 100 can act like a dumb terminal to it, and I can telnet and check the forums (wifi) in 40-column mode. There is termcaps for the Model 100 for linux, but I have no idea what to do with it or how to get linux on a router.
Does anyone know of the best router to do this with, what to put on it and how to configure it? I have never used command line UNIX before, and so any replies will have to be like talking to a baby .
Thank you very much.
