No bad word about the C64!!
Or you get a mortal enemy here ;)))

 MK> Why the emulation?  Why not just use the wifi as a wifi and save some

Because the whole idea is to use the C64.
That does not have a way to cummincate to Wifi.
By emulating a POTS modem you can use the built in SW and HW interfaces.
Actually it works really nicely, and people have developed "cloud services" for
it.
