Sorry about that....I tried to temporarily suspend my article about the Atari modems and the damn program posted it. Damn program. Anyway, the 835 direct connect modem was originally listed as 300/1200 baud, but more recently was listed simply as 300 baud. I think Atari got cold feet about the 1200 baud option. There's now even some question as to whether the 835 is going to be introduced at all, since some of the new XL computers are supposed to have built-in modems. If anybody has additional information about this, please post. I am currently using a Microbits modem which connects directly to the joystick port on the Atari, and now works ok after some aggravating problems with telephone compatibility (which I posted about a while back). It is, of course, 300 baud, but it cost $200 which is a reasonable price I guess. Don Ellis Tektronix
