Hey Guys,
I think we need to start a community project where we build an
external device on the RS-232 port with a WiFi module and an STM32 ARM
cortex part with firmware to manage internet access. This would mean
open hardware plus an open software task to develop the firmware on
the ARM.
Thoughts? Interest in helping with such a project?

Very cool. Though I think that this device will cause buffer over
runs unless you are using HTERM.
At the risk of tooting my own horn, you can already do this with
mComm and an android phone or a PC.
The legacy bbs (bbs.aoh.fi:2400) is well suited for the M100 with its
40 column output.

I just saw on YouTube... Lazy Game Reviews doing a review of the
Wifi232 serial port - wifi adapter.
He used it to connect to a list of BBSes.
It's claimed to work with all kinds of old computers... including the
M100.
Here's a link to the video, and to the website of the guy who makes it:

Also included is a link to telnet BBSes...

Soon as he gets some in, I'm going to get one... or two... or three...
