Make it look like a slinky ram card with however much storage you can allocate.

hook it into a second slot like an SSC and provide serial network communications enabling you to network it to a wifi network.

Not sure what else... these just came to mind.

Kind of looks promising, It won't compile for you or it won't do the biz?

As far as compiling goes, you can apt-get another fork on the Pi, or make it from the command line.

I noticed a couple of things...

"I've fixed the bug with connecting to real telnet servers, incorporated geneb's echo and port changes, and added parity support to tcpser"

and

"It sounds like you are using a 7 bit connection but trying to do an 8 bit transfer."

Both of these were relatively long in the tooth, I've never seen anything use other than 8n1 for transmission.. The first whatever it is, might be related to your problems though.

I think I need to figure out rts/cts on the cable as well to get the speed up a bit. Shame I seem to have thrown out my old ones :/

the serial stuff is running, I can use mgetty and connect quite happily,
tcpser seems to show some life if I watch the IIe while firing it up, but
haven't gotten anything interactive out of it yet.

I have to admit defeat for the time being too. I don't believe its the IIe end of things in this case. There's just no response out of TCPser, it creates some noise on the IIe during startup, but after that its mute, and even with debug logging enabled it doesn't show anything happening whatsoever..
