If you want to do something similar from BASIC without needing OS-9 and Drivewire, you can buy a $5 ESP8266 devkit module and a $1 RS232-to-TTL adapter and hook them up with four jumper wires, then get on WiFi with any terminal program through the bitbanger.

(Sorry about it being a Facebook video. I need to get that posted to YouTube.)

I initially ordered those parts for under $15 from Amazon with 2nd day Prime shipping.

I also have a way too long writeup posted here:
