I found a site that offers a VT100 emulator for it.
The original model (which is now selling for 25$US on Amazon.com), has
the following specs:
32bit, 11MHz Hitachi H8S/2246; a 4MHz Amtel AT90S2313; 512KB of RAM, LCD
display of 160x100 pixels, an RF2915 transceiver, RS232 serial port. The
RF communication specs are that it operates in the frequency of
902-928MHz. It supports 30 digital channels, with rates of 19200
bps/channel. The range is 150ft indoors, and 300ft outdoors. And it
mentions a "max on-line Cybiko computers" of 3000 (100 units on each of
30 channels). My impression that each unit can communicate
simultaneouly with that number of other units.
This information was found near the end (pg 46 or 47) of their online
guide:

The newer Xtreme (gah!) model has more RAM, a faster main processor, and
a USB port (I don't see an RS232 port mentioned.)
