Hi James, You can also install OpenWRT linux to a portable, battery-powered router (mine is a RAVpower FileHub Plus WD-03, as seen here - https://www.ravpower.com/p/ravpower-6000mah-filehub-plus.html, which has a SD card slot, Ethernet port, and USB port) and pass a TCP connection over USB serial using tcpser or a Linux session with getty.
Then you can either enter ATDT Hayes modem emulation commands on the M100 with tcpser (e.g., ATDTyour.bbs.com:23) or log in to your server of interest with telnet or SSH clients in OpenWRT with getty. This works great with my HP 95LX - I have logged in to the atrium and Level 29 BBSs.
