ESP8266 as a standalone WIFI serial cable

I need to build a WIFI serial data cable that can receive and transmit data at only at 1200bps to control existing equipment that currently uses a direct serial data (TTL only) cable. I want the ESP8266 to power up as an AP and be ready to receive 1200bps data immediately without requiring any AT commands. The ESP8266 also needs to receive RTS on/off commands from the remote terminal and set a GPIO output accordingly.

Any help on how to do this will be greatly appreciated. :ugeek:

Are you referring to the example WIFITelnetToSerial?
I will have to try it.

Thanks!
