I'd get a RS232toWIFI dongle, they're cheap and easy to make a connection
via simple terminal software to an outside telnet target.
I don't think the RS232 to WIFI dongles from the one guy are often
unavailable. I think the creator hand solders them in small batches or
something.
The ESP 8266's are available a dime a dozen and often have the proper
firmware burned into them. At worst, you have to put a RS-232 DB-xx
connector on and maybe a level shifter (depending on the ESP board you
have, though most don't have them)...
...and a pair of MAX232's if you plan on connecting it to real hardware
equipped with an RS-232 port.
I'd suggest starting with a NodeMCU. :)
