The Tandy 102 (and the earlier, very similar model 100) makes a 
very fine little portable terminal, and it does indeed come standard
with an internal modem, although it is only 300 baud.  If you can
live with the 40x8 screen, and the 300 baud rate, it's a great 
little unit, and can be had used for $200 - $300.  If you need 
a higher data rate, a good way to go might be a model 100/102
and one of those pocket modems; in addition to the built-in
modem, there's an rs-232 port that runs up to 9600 baud.
I've had a number of 100s on and off over the years, and have
liked them a lot.  They have their limitations, but they give
you a lot of capability for the money.  Good luck.
