Hi I'm not very familiar with high-speed Internet technology,
I'm wanting to use either Wifi or Ethernet
I have noticed Routers have 2 Ethernet cable connections.
Are there Commodore Wifi or Ethernet interfaces where could I find these.
I'm stuck with either like so many these days I no longer have a landmine phone, so dialup is gone.
I know Jim Brain has an interface I need to find out if it only interfaces with Ethernet I haven't checked yet.
Was Contiki a browser? Is it still available on the internet?
I have a Cradle but that requires a little rewiring was it Wifi?
Any suggestions.
Thank you,
Terry Raymond

Something based on ESP8266 should exist, I guess, for wifi.

Con-tiki is an TCP/IP stack or "OS" for which some kind of text-browser
exists.

I seem to recall (but cannot find right now) a Youtube video where a dude
sets up a Commodore 64 for WIFI access. Then walks to a local café bar
and tries to blend into a group of others with their tablets and
laptops. Then unpacks his C64 and goes online. *g*
