I am presently the owner of a 64/128 and a 1600 modem. I have the
peripheral cabling that allows me to connect to a phone directly without
going through the handset (the original problem with this modem). My
question is - does anyone know of any software available to allow upload/
download or terminal emulation on the 1600. Also is the 1600 capable of
being used with the c128 in the 128 mode. At the present time I don`t
have any software for the c128 mode for this modem so I can`t test to
see if it works. Any answers or software would be greatly appreciated.
I don`t know the proper procedure on netnews to get a reply but any
answers on this section will be read and answered.

Anyhow: any terminal program that will work with the 1650 or 1660 will work with the 1600 -- IF you have a telephone connected to the same line. The only thing that the 1600 won't do is auto-dial, you'll have to do that yourself when the program thinks that it is auto-dialing your modem. The secret is, when the 1660 dials, hold the telephone handset up to the monitor speaker. And when the 1650 dials, dial the number manually with your telephone. The on-offhook protocol is the only difference between these modems In fact, I've used many 1650 terminal programs with the 1660, just by telling it I want the modem offhook when I want the modem onhook and vice-versa, and using the telephone to dial. Always willing to answer telecommunications questions (I've spent the last 2 years fighting the idiosyncracies of almost every modem on the market)...
