Forgot to mention: Sidekick264 with experimental network kernel uses the WLAN (or LAN port) of the Raspberry Pi to give network access to the Plus/4. When using classic BBS software, this has to go through the Userport via the "bridge" described above.
But content from the web can also be displayed directly in the Sidekick menu without launching a BBS program. Another video to illustrate that the screen content of the Plus/4 can be loaded via WLAN and the AnyKey PRG can be launched straight from CSDb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gRiGNYindk
Those videos are pretty old now, I will do a fresh one once I have something better to show.
