[1.48/1.5] wireless peripherals

my idea is basicly that when you attach a wireless modem to a peripheral( for example a printer ) you could send commands over rednet to that peripheral to execute functions.
for example rednet.send( printer id, ".newPage( )" )

tell what you think :D/>/>

Use a computer as a router between the peripheral and the computer. Basically, do it yourself.

But I want to put this in a specific location that happens to be down amongst the bedrock layers and there just isn't room for a computer there. :D/>/>

Yeah, wireless peripherals are unlikely to come. Wired ones, probably.

Xfel made a peripheral [topic='738']cable[/topic] with wich you can connect not only peripherals from far away, but also more than the usual limit of 6.
The idea of a wireless modem for peripherals for direct communication sounds neat though.

But we wouldn't necessarily need it to be included in CC itself.
Someone could make such a "wireless peripheral-modem" as a peripheral itself.
It would just have to provide a Java-side interface for other peripheral developers to implement.
Basically what Xfel did with ccCables, only as a wireless modem instead of cables.

If you have room for modem, you can definitely fit wireless turtle.

Basically, do it yourself.
