The Lenovo Stick has Wlan (and Bluetooth). But it is an exageration to use it to comunicate with a very old laptop (without wlan) immediately near it. The more power consumption, the more heat in the small stick.
But don't fear, if you only have a serial port, you can still use pppd for IP networking.
Yes, it is an alternative, but slip is not only simple for dealing with its commands, but a very simple protocoll (see for example minix man page). I wonder why its prensense in OpenBSD was considered a problem. Rodrigo.
