Termcap is short for TERMinal CAPabilities for Unix computers. The internet
uses Unix shell accounts for email (unlimited) and newsgroups. There is usually
no time limit for this type of account and the rate is as low as $15.00 per
month. The Tandy is the ideal email retreiver for this kind of account because
it is so cheap and you don't need much memory.  Since all one gets is a little
mail, the so baud rate is acceptable too. When I get it set up on Primenet I
will give you the telephone # and the method for getting online as a guest to
try it out. Presently Netcom vased in San Jose I think has the set up for
Tandys. I would be more than happy to show you how to get set up. I'm no
salesman, just a lover of the Tandy. I am a camera Operator for NYPD Blue.
