I’m looking to setup a machine to use in conjunction with the WiFi232 modem, what I would like to be able to do is to dial/telnet into a local machine that will allow me to use a text web browser so I can browse websites from my vintage machines. I guess the other thing the machine I would dial into would need to do is to be able to cache on that machine then allow me to use xmodem/ymodem so I can download binary files. Anyone know what I would be able to use to do that? I know I could setup the telnetd on a Linux Box, but I don’t know how to transfer from a Linux box with modem protocols. Thanks, Joe O.

Pretty sure you can just use sx/rx (or the Y, Z modem equivalents) or Kermit to zap it over the link -- I don't think it cares what the go-between medium is. You'll need a terminal on the vintage machine end that can do X/Y/Zmodem or Kermit. And, of course, if you're setting up a physical Linux (or other UNIX-like system) box, you can just serial attach directly to the machine if you want. Lynx will allow you to save pages or download files from them. You can use wget or FTP things to the *NIX box as well.

Raspberry Pi in particular RasApple build is a Linux build would be perfect for your situation. Bill Degnan twitter: billdeg vintagecomputer.net On Dec 18, 2017 6:35 PM, "systems_glitch via vcf-midatlantic" < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I’ll look into both options. I haven’t looked at the RasApple build before, but I have several PI’s around that I could play with. I’ll actually have to see what (if any) transfer protocols are available on my Model 100, since my wife would not let me bring home anything larger from storage since it’s too close to Christmas. Speaking of the Model 100, does anyone have (or know where) I could get expansion memory, without breaking the bank. I know I saw a module online that emulates the floppy drive on it, but they want almost $200 for it. For me, that’s a bit excessive.

Now that's a good question. Actually, I think I remember reading that you can just use a certain standard RAM chip - I don't remember off the top of my head, but I'll do some research later. By the way, there's a VT100 emulator in Club 100's software archive somewhere. You might find it useful. I haven't tested it though.
