Epson PX-16 and PX-4: Pse help

     Could anyone please point me in the direction of help with an Epson
     PX-16 and a PX-4 (with p40 printer)?

     I'm trying to cobble together a cheap but safe way of sending and
     receiving email whilst travelling (ideally in conjunction with a
     movile phone which has a 14 pin accessory connector); but from a
     hotel phone line, legally, would be fine.

     The PX-16 will boot up into either msdos v 3.20, or "Sonet or word
     processor".

     Alas, sonet needs a password (which I can't peek in the first 64 K
     of RAM); and wordpro and dos have had write-to-disk disabled. I
     can't see the autoexec.bat, nor any of the 5 hidden files it
     mentions. Is the 720 KB FD format "non-standard"?

     It appears to have been used for selling chocolate. 3 wrong
     passwords, and it says to call York for help. Many thanks!
