Help! I just bought a "core modem" from Jameco electronics. Maybe somebody out there knows about it. It listed for $78.00 and it really only needs a power supply and some wires to connect it to whatever computer you like (1488 and 1489 chips also are needed if you need real RS-232 levels). The only problem is that they don't give a very good expaination of al l of the I/O lines to the modem. There are also some switches that are unexplained. I'm really anxious to get this going (300 baud can be unbearable, to be nice about it), especially if I can do it for under $85, which seems pretty likely. The modem was made by US ROBOTICS. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance..... Kevin Haney phone (215)527-9098 home (215)648-4363 work (tues and thurs) ...!ihnp4!psuvax!vu-vlsi!excalibur!203569439
