I use tmux-256color on my tmux and syncterm client to bbs. The 'arrows'
in my navi guide are ansi arrows. Perhaps your term isn't displaying
cp437 completely.

Yes. Though my daily driver is the 200 since I like the larger
display. I do a lion's share of writing on my 200. Though I just got a
102 to work as a terminal.

I really wanted a 102 as a teen, mostly so i could BBS from my
bedroom. By then, the machine was already a number of years old and
radio shack still wanted a ridiculous amount for it. Like Apple, Tandy
was overpriced and underpowered. Unlike Apple, Tandy wasn't dumbed down
fisher price.

I didn't jump into the model-t world until ten years ago. There was no
nostalgia for me, I just like the form factor of system-in-keyboard. My
linux box in the den is a pi500 that I mostly use as a terminal to my
pi3b+ (main workhorse).

I'm glad it did. Doing my best to have a unique menu experience.
