Marc:  Let's explore your questions...

 > I need a basic program for my TRS-80 model 100 that will use TELCOM and the
internal modem to dial into a IBM PC running a host program that allows remotre
control of it's keyboard. Basically I want to control the IBM-PC as a  a slave
of my TRS-80 model 100 via the telephone connection.

I understand exactly what you are asking.  You want something like REMOTE-PC,
or PC ANYWARE, or CARBON-COPY--all MS-DOS to MS-DOS remote control programs.
With your Model 100?  I know we don't have such an animal but there may be one
on Compuserve.  Frankly, what you're asking would be really complex and would
more then likely be a machine language program for all the work it has to do.

If you just need to control a PC host--like this one--that's easy.  But to
"act" like a PC, that's hard.

 > Can you provice this program over this bulletin board service?

Of course!  But again, I ain't got what you're looking for.

 > I have a PDD-2 and need to know if my IBM-PC 3.5"1.44MBFDD will write the
code on a 3.5" disk readable by my PDD-2 ( which is as you know 200KBFDD).

Nope!  Many have tried and many have died.  If it was possible I would own it,
pal.  The closest thing you will find is a program that will read the TPDD2 via
the COM port.  One such program is Lapdos II--the classic solution for just
$39.95 + shipping (see catalog).
