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 progr

mComm for a Windows PC can create a telnet or SSH bridge for the model T. From TELCOM you can connect to any of these sites. The screen size is a big limiting factor though. If there were a BBS that catered to the small screen that would be ideal. But I have not found any that are 40x8. Kurt

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'
