Well, this is pretty easy. Just buy any 2400 baud modem you want and
plug it in. The Mod. 4 has a standard rs232 serial port.
As far as software, there is a full featured terminal program around
called FastTerm. Its shareware and is available on several bulletin
boards (I don't have any phone numbers handy) and on Compuserve.
It has a vt100 mode.
