I know of on other than the TI 92 that was successfully connected to a
modem, the TI 82 (believe it or not). The TI 86 version of what I saw will
come out soon. Please don't ask me questions, the author isn't ready to
release his stuff (he wants to do a little bit more to it first; no, I'm
not the author) I'm sure a TI 85 version could be easily made from the 86
version.

This magical place is called a computer show, computer fair, and Ham fest
=). Sometimes, you will find dealers with old products that they will sell
cheap (Computer Show). At a computer fair, there are many people selling
their own used stuff, which you can pick up stuff for pretty cheap (I once
got 5 386 motherboards for $15, complete with RAM =)..). HAM Fests are
great, you don't have to be a HAM Operator to go to one, and many HAM's are
comp enthusiasts who will sell their old equipment cheap.
