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.

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.
