Thank you so much! Embarrassingly I discovered my problem was that that I had to go into raspi-config and designate my country so the WiFi would work. The packages I was trying to install on my raspberry pi weren’t installing because no internet. Once I got that sorted and made a couple changes to configure I was good to go and successfully contacted a BBS with the setup. Now I need to sort out out to exchange files. Thanks again for your response.

I'm using Raspian 10 here are my quick and dirty hints: Get your termcap sorted: https://zork.net/~octal/mod100.xhtml You will note that termcap doesn't exist like it should though, so save the cap to a file and install it like so: tic <termcap-file> I assume you are going to to the easy route and use a USB to serial adapter. You can use the onboard UART with some level conversion as I have done, but you have to get creative with the hardware. Check out the photos of my M100 hooked to my pi zero here: http://niedobry.com/mod100/tanpi/ Copy the template file /lib/systemd/system/serial-getty@.service to /etc/systemd/system/serial-getty@ttyUSB0.service (Provided you are using ttyUSB0) In [Service] modify the ExecStart line to say the following: (Adjust your baud as you like.) ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -o '-p -- \\u' 19200 %I trs100 Issue systemctl enable serial-getty@ttyUSB0.service Do a ps -ax | grep getty and you should now see a getty process running on the USB port. Connect your Model-T with a null modem cable to the serial port, set your TERM to STAT 98N1E and you should be good to go. Lots and lots of customization needed for it to be useful, I'm working on getting my notes together on this and hope to have it somewhere for reference soon. Hope this helps, Brian On Sun, Jul 11, 2021 at 11:09 PM Bill Miranda <bill.mira...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can anyone point me to current instructions on how to configure a Raspberry > Pi so that I can connect my M100 as a serial console?
