[net.micro.apple] Modem recommendations

electrohome@watcgl.UUCP (electrohome) (08/26/85)

I am in the process of looking for a 1200 baud modem for my Apple II+.
I do not need anything fancy, just something that will communicate at
1200 baud.  Auto-dial, etc. are not necessary.  Price IS a big factor.
The primary use will be for communications with a VAX and upload/download
from bulletin boards.  Can anyone recommend something that fits my needs?  

On a specific note, I have seen mail-order ads for the Anchor Volksmodem
1200 for about $150.  Does anyone have any experience with this one?

Please reply to my chinet or watcgl account, as I am only going to be at 
electro until the end of the month.

	Jade has a 1200 baud, serial interface, direct-connect modem
	advertised for $179.  They also have a 7-day (or is 10 or 15)
	money-back guarantee in case you are not satisfied with it.
	I think it is Hayes compatible.

	Considering the price and the money-back guarantee, sounds worth 
	a try.
