Since i am unable to find a full pinout of the powerbook duo internal modem port, I managed to find one for the Powerbook 1XX series.
once i get the SCSI SSD out of the way, i am thinking about removing the internal modem of the powerbook 180 i have here, and replacing it with a custom xBee module type setup. and replace the modem "plug" with a rubber ducky antenna.
This way, i can do appletalk, or serial communications "wireless" using xBee modules hooked to other macs as well, such as with phonenet or a localtalk cable. wouldnt that be nice? Also the xBee modules can run up to 230k without issues.
Then write a small RealBasic program to send AT commands, which configures the xBee such as encryption keys, channels, operation modes, etc.. They can operate in point-to-point or star modes. meaning you can use a network of "xBee" modules that act like the old phonenet system. but wireless
Just rambling, and thinking about doing it.
