Hi John,
If you have a computer connected to the Internet that also has a serial port
there are programs that let the M100 think it's talking to an old-skool modem
while the PC translates things to Telnet on the 'Net. There has also been a lot
of progress made on using a smartphone as a 'modem' to connect the M100 to the
net, and finally there are also hardware devices specifically for connecting
RS-232 devices like the M100 to the internet.
Maybe some other folks have some more ideas...

Subject: [M100] Telnet BBS
Back in 1985 to 1995. I used my TRS 80 Model 100 to call up local BBS here in
Colorado Springs, CO. But most of these BBS in my city no longer exist. Since
1995. I do not know how to call TELNET or any BBS outside the 80906 zip code. I
wish there was a FREE toll free 800 or 888 number. So I can use my home
telephone land line to call a existing BBS connected to my TRS 80 Model 100.
Being 51 years old. I still live in the technology of the 1980's and 1990's.
