I am not aware that AOL supports text-only sessions. GEnie does, but I thought
CIS and AOL had gone GUI-only.
 
The M100/102 will have problems with high baud rates.  It is my experience that
once you go above 1200 baud, that the screen update time starts to cause missed
characters.  It has been a while for me as well, having just started to get
back into Model-T computing.
 
The M100/102 is a good choice for world travel, due to the long battery life
and proven reliability. Depending on where she's going, an acoustic coupler may
be prudent.
 
Have fun.
