Looks similar to but more sophisticated than the Netport device in that Netport does not run linux or any other OS. It is configurable from a PC or via AT commands through the serial port. What I was envisaging was configuring Netport possibly via a PC to be a recognised connection to the internet broadband router modem, plugginig it into the QL and then looking at the non trivial task, as you point out, of writing an application to decipher the serial steam of converted TCP/IP data and send recognisable internet commands through the serial link, ie a sort of a browser, probably rather limited in functionality at first.
