I have succesfully hooked up my old H-100 to a Z-183 using procom on
the 183 and a terminal software package call BESTERM on the 100.
Both supported XMODEM transfers.  Also, I have BBS software that
will run on the old 100 (under MS-DOS), which similar results can be
made.  I seem to recall 9600 bps was ok, but 19.2 only worked in one
direction (not both).  Both of these solutions run on the H-100
under it's normal MS-DOS (version 2.x or 3.x), and can work with
only 3 x 64Kbytes of memory installed.
