   Maybe it could interest you, it's not exactly a "simple wifi modem" as   
   it has a protocol, but I'm in the process of making a serial/network   
   proxy for my Apple //c. It allows connecting to arbitrary hosts/ports,   
   does http(s), ftp(s), sftp, (that can be extended to whatever libCURL   
   supports), and provides a few helpers (return a match in the   
   response's body, parse JSON, convert images to HGR and send them.   
      
   I'm using it to make a Mastodon client. You can find it at   
   https://github.com/colinleroy/a2tools/tree/master/src   
      
   (surl-server/ runs on a PC or Raspberry, client lib is in lib/surl*,   
   code using it can be found in stp/, mastodon/, telnet/, and surl/)   
      
   HTH!
