Yep, exactly.
I know how to accomplish this and could do it, but it's not something to
give out to anyone who just wants to connect to a BBS using the old retro
PC, Amiga, Atari or Z80 machine using some Wifi232 "modem".

I just have not come by any implementation of SSH in a wifi modem firmware
up till now.
Zimodem, as one of the most advanced firmwares, doesn't have it.
Also "vintage-computer-wifi-modem" by TheOldNet, a fork of esp8266_modem,
does not have it:
https://github.com/ssshake/vintage-computer-wifi-modem

If you could add this functionality to any of these firmwares, that would
be great :)

Anna
