Hi. I'm thinking of getting a TRS-80 Model 100, and I'm curious what
I'll need to hook it up to a BBS. I'm a complete noob at this, as a
gen z, but terminal computing always fascinated me, so please tell me
how it's done!

Because of the limited screen real estate on the Model 100, using it
for connecting to bulletin board systems may drive you nuts. :)  That
being said, any of the good WiFi "modems" (the good ones are based on
Bo Zimmerman's firmware) would work with the Model 100.  Most if not
all of them use a female DB25 connector as the interface.

Good luck!

Regardless of his politics, it's solid code. :)
