This newsgroup is being renamed from net.micro.trs-80 to comp.sys.tandy.
This renaming will gradually take place over the next few weeks.
More and more messages posted to this newsgroup will be aliased
into the new newsgroup as they pass through the net, and people
will begin to post to the new group. After a few weeks, the
old name will be removed.
This note is to inform you of the renaming so you can begin to
read the new group as well as the old group.

Perhaps KP KP just now got his TRS-80 on the internet. :-)

He found someone still providing dial-up shell accounts? My Mod III/4 (upgrades) never did have a serial port, so I never even had the chance of using a 1200Baud modem with it. Definitely not going to fit a NIC into a
Z-80 based TRS-80

Didn't buy a modem until latter 80s, for my Amiga system. Eventually using TIA on a shell account to set up an Internet connection. (What fun... start VLT, dial into shell service, exec TIA [just to avoid having a shell session doing nothing], keep modem connected while disconnecting VLT, start network stack, connect VLT via telnet to get back to a shell session).

{I sometimes have dreams of writing a bidirectional driver for the printer port, or general I/O port -- feeding an Arduino (or over-priced left-over
BASIC Stamp) to create a serial port... That presumes the drive heads don't break off the first time I power it up after 30 years of storage, and am
able to patch the OS to handle the new decade.}



VLT = Valiant Little Terminal; written at SLAC to emulate VT-100 AND
Tektronix graphics terminals... And it did it well enough to run VAX/VMS
EDT editor!

TIA = The Internet Adapter; a $$ program that was probably killed by SLIrP

I think it's cool he found the post. My newsgroup service doesn't go
back that far.
