I said the modem is the telnet client. Telnet is a tcp/ip protocol and there is no such thing as tcp/ip on a 100. No networking hardware and not enough cpu or ram to do anything useful if there were such a thing as a network card. The modem has it's own cpu and ram and tcp/ip stack software, and

Yup you just use TELCOM. Or any terminal app but the built-in telcom is all you need. -- bkw On Sun, Feb 21, 2021, 4:03 PM Jeff Gonzales wrote: > So would you still use the built-in terminal or is there an actual telnet > client available for the m100 now? > > On Sun, Feb 21, 2021 at 1:58 PM

Awesome! Yep, I remember doing many ATDP connections back in the early days. In the video I only highlighted “at” for brevity and timing. Great stuff all around! And thanks again to whoever posted about the book “Endless Loop: The History of the BASIC Programming Language” by Mark J. Lorenzo,

ATDT stands for attention, Dial, Tone (with P meaning Pulse), so I too was quite surprised that AT commands worked that way. On Sun, 21 Feb 2021 at 13:32, Steve Baker wrote: > Hiya Jeff, > > I use the Terminal program in my Tandy 102… once I set the Stat correctly > (baud rate, etc.) and then

Hiya Jeff, I use the Terminal program in my Tandy 102… once I set the Stat correctly (baud rate, etc.) and then hit F4 for Term, then I’m connected to the gadget and the gadget is connected to the Internet. From there, I simply type: atdt URL:port to connect to whatever you want to hit (for

Is the manual online? I'm just curious how it works. Normally I telnet into BBS' these days to play TradeWars 2002 (lol). Either that or use PuTTY. Do the AT commands now let you specify an IP address or something? What protocol is used to make the connection? On Sat, Feb 20, 2021 at 6:17 PM

I seem to recall WiModem232 worked for me after fiddling with a patched TS-DOS. It would be nice project for someone just to completely rework the timeout code in TS-DOS. And there's always TEENY which doesn't do any timeouts. -- John.

Re: [M100] Serial-to-WiFi Converters and Rechargeable Batteries

Hello again Jeff! Feel free to check out the websites for more details on either / both of these gadgets, they work great. Once you connect to your home WiFi (easy) then it’s a simple Hayes command to connect... the documentation is quite comprehensive. If you’re still not sure after

The post you quoted showed how it's connected, so I don't know what you mean. Do you mean how do you connect to your wifi? Or how do you connect to a remote BBS? It's all done by AT commands described in the manual like any other modem. On Sat, Feb 20, 2021, 11:21 AM Jeff Gonzales wrote: >

Hello Jeff! Both the GuruModem and the WiModem232 work very well with my T102s. Both create solid connections (the Model T’s baud rate is the only bottleneck). Each has their own unique advantages (GuruModem has a MicroSIM card, while WiModem232 has a terrific screen so you can see all the

Hi B9, Joshua, Brian, and Steve, The various options you provided are all of interest and very much appreciated. I do want a WiFi interface (if it works) because there are a bunch of other ancient systems that it would be useful to use it with, including some S-100 boat anchors; Osborne 1,

The Serial to WiFi bridge that I use with my 102 (and occasionally used on the Amiga until I got a gurunet adapter) is the WiModem232. It emulates a Hayes-compatible modem, but the uplink is a TCP connection rather than a phone line. https://www.cbmstuff.com/proddetail.php?prod=WiModem232 I

Not sure exactly what I get out of the Eneloops. Seems comparable to Alkalines. I go back and forth between batteries and the wall wart. Maybe others have done careful tests. A feature of the Eneloops is they don't lose their charge sitting around. So you can always have a set on the shelf,
