Yes, UDS10s and equivalents are some of the hardware devices I mentioned and
are what I use to connect various old systems; great devices, very flexible and
they can solve the problem of the M100's small receive buffer overflowing when
using XON/XOFF handshaking.
There's also John's HTERM program which uses hardware handshaking and also
converts characters to Unicode equivalents; perfect for using a Linux system as
a server.

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.
