A few years ago, I saw a cheap GSM adapter for a PC for e.g. emergency messages of the server. It was cheap, as it only supported 3G. Luckily, I checked availability of 3G before I bought it, as it would have been a doorstopper here.
OK, that is USA. They have been a bit backwards for a long time, so this is not a surprise.
2G? That is a word I have not heard in a long time.
Good. Lock them up and throw the key in the gutter.
Until the router needs to be reset, or something else happens to it.
That’s what “configuration backups” are for. You’ve got some, don’t you?
Not everybody has the money for an extra router.
No need for an extra router. I just put those device into the “has no internet access” group. It is one of those “Parental Control” things. Every device inside the net can see and talk to it, but itself cannot talk to anything outside.
Luckily, most embedded devices lack the smart to attach to two networks at the same time. So you keep it locked into a network where it can only do your bidding, and it won’t listen to anyone else. Unless they built in some very crazy and nefarious code and drive around with network enabled cars in the owners neighborhood.
Just put the device on a separate wifi without internet access, or look at the “child protection” features of your router. Ours can put devices based on their MAC into “access groups” which range from “full access” over “internet from <time> to <time>” to “no internet at all”.
I’ve seen a VHDL implementation of the Z80 on the net. It is so old, it’s last fixes were from 19 years ago…
