Subject: Re: [M100] time Darn it, I wrote it wrong. It is telnet time.nist.gov 13 ... that spits out the cryptic string used by my dialup time setting program. And then disconnects. In about 1991 I used to call BBSs with my model 100, and there were some that came through just fine. Those were the text only ones that did not use ANSI. I think there was one called a "Henge". Also I think we all know the the Model 100 has a termcap file for Unix sytems Back in the early 1990's. I would use my M100 to call up some local BBS where I live in Colorado Springs,CO. The area code is 719. Denver, CO is 303. But these BBS shut down by the year 1995. Technology and computers changed. We now had the internet which used laptop computer and newer technology.

I would call the local college that I attended back in 1983 to access library information through the built in TELCOM terminal program. Just plugged my telephone line into the Model 100. Call the BBS number, log in, download info then end TELCOM connection. I miss those days. Now, my TRS 80 Model 100 is just sitting in storage at this time. I do use it at times. I take notes, put names and addresses on it and connect it to a cassette player to load, run and save .BA files on cassette tapes.
