You might be able to bypass tcpser and most of your setup.

I just came around info and a video by LGR from YouTube [1] about the
WIFI232 http://hackaday.com/2017/06/17/bbsing-with-the-esp8266/>. Which
at one end has an RS-232 adapter you plug into any of your old hardware
(C64, Amiga, Apple ][, Macintosh, RadioShack, Atari, many others from
back of the day. It claims to be a Hayes compatible modem. Then sets up a
serial connection and call a terminal program on the computer (I notice
there is COMMSTAR for many 8bit computers available) and issue AT
commands. Not only "ATD123456" to dial. Also to connect to your WIFI. I
think it was something like "ATESSIDmywifi_source". There is a PDF user
manual in the web some where.
