RetroTech Chris | #DOScember: Using a RS232 WiFi Modem to access BBSes from my Tandy 1000 HX... with a twist!! @RetroTechChris | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
Join us as we explore the RS232 WiFi Modem from theoldnet.com to access modern-day BBSes via telnet! And from there, we have a little surprise in store for you!

Update: To run mutt via telnet on the Raspberry Pi, it's a simple fix. Just do an "export TERM=linux" before launching mutt.
