+  Pager Server
+
+  The ESP8266WiFi library's WiFiServer and WiFiServerSecure
+  work differently then WiFiServer and EthernetSever
+  in Arduino networking libraries.
+  This example demonstrates the ArduinoWiFiServer,
+  which enhances the WiFiServer.
+  ArduinoWiFiServer has available() behaving as documented
+  and supports send-to-all-clients functionality, which
+  is not implemented in ESP8266WiFi library's WiFiServer
+  and WiFiServerSecure.
+
+  The example is a simple server that echoes any incoming
+  messages to all connected clients. Connect two or more
+  telnet sessions to see how server.available() and
+  server.print() work.
+
+  created in September 2020 for ESP8266WiFi library
