Yeah, that's always been the issue; there have been all sorts of ways to get
the Model T's on the 'Net for years, but what do you do once you get
connected...
I thought I heard someone volunteer (again) to set up an M10x-friendly BBS
recently?

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...

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.
