I have a 2400bps modem that understands the spaces and hyphens, but yes,
it would probably be safer to leave the out.

BBS E-mail would work, as would UNIX shell accounts. The only problem is
the terminal emulation. I don't think that FTerm supports ANSI terminal
emulation (used with most BBS's) and I don't think that it supports VT100
terminal emulation (used with most unix shell accounts). This means that
lots of things aren't going to look correct. Most BBS interfaces rely on
the terminal escape codes. Under unix, programs like Pine, lynx and irc
rely on the vt100 escape codes (well, under the most common setups that
is...some setups would require other escape codes). I've been thinking
about writing a vt100 terminal emulation program for the ti92, similar to
telnet83. Would people be interested in seeing that?
