I goofed...
The message I posted for a friend requesting a 1200 baud
modem must have a RS-232-C interface to be hooked up to
a standard terminal.
He wanted Hayes compatability. Bells and whistles are nice,
but not absolutely necessary. (For < $100.00 ??)
Is there one for less than $100.00, used or new???
Please send info to:

I picked one up for around $200 new at a local shop (Fry's, for you South-Bay-Areites) and have had no problems with it except that its defaults include autoanswer - take a power hit while you're away and it answers the phone before your answering machine can. I unplug the phone line when not using the modem. ...Kris [Yes, $200 is twice what Rick was looking for, but $0.18/baud, new in the box, ain't bad.] -- Kristopher Stephens, | (408-746-6047) | {whatever}!amdahl!krs Amdahl Corporation | | -or- krs@amdahl.amdahl.com [The opinions expressed above are mine, solely, and do not ] [necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of Amdahl Corp. ]

Several months ago I bought a new Avatex 1200-baud modem for a total cost of $82 (shipping included) from Black Patch Systems (1-800-ATARI-02). It is a bare-bones model with absolutely zero frills, although one with most of the Hayes command set is available for $20-30 more (as I recall). I have been quite happy with this modem, which I use with a standard terminal at home. It even came with some free time on Compuserve (for what it's worth...).
