[Coco] ESP8266 BBS setup

[Ron Klein]

Hi Bill,

This sounds great!

I believe Brett Gordon looked into using that module at one point but found
some shortcomings with it.  He might have some good information for you.  I
know he's on this list, so perhaps he'll chime in.  :)

In any case, I hope you do move forward with something!

-Ron
