[net.micro.atari8] R-verter and Pocket Modem

Hello,

I'm interested in getting an R-verter cable for my 400 so I can use an
external Hayes compatible 1200 baud modem.  As I understand it, the Rverter
software is a 'R:' driver that is used instead of the 850 driver.

Does this mean that any communications software written for the 850 will
go through the R-verter?

The reason I ask is that I purchased a Pocket Modem and I can't use terminal
emulators, etc. because they need a 'R:' driver and the Pocket Modem uses their
own driver 'M:'.

Any information on either the R-verter or the Pocket Modem would be greatly
appreciated.
                            Thanks in advance,
                                  Bruce Wilson   (bwwilson@watnot)
