As the web page says, "the code was written with device drivers in mind,
and for the next version, I'd like to write a driver for the C64Net
wireless card (a.k.a. 'BoModem')". I did the Flyer first because it's so
easy to write for and allowed me to concentrate on the program's logic.
The ESP family of wireless cards seem like obvious low-hanging fruit for
additional drivers, as they're very fashionable these days.
But Flyer owners can be among the first to experience the awesome power
of gopher on a Commodore 64!
