In-Reply-To: message from husc7!ehsu@husc6.harvard.edu Any way you slice it you'll need a serial card. An internal modem is a possibility, try AE 2400 (prolink?). My Supra modem 2400 has worked flawlessly since I purchased it (two weeks now!). 2400 is the slowest speed in a modem that you will want. Silentype might be claiming an interupt from the CP/M card? try a different slot? I dunno? Choose the most appropriate answer please.

I was interested in the AE Datalink also. BUT, will a 9600 Baud modem on an ancient(??) computer like mine. Believe it or not, the machine I have still has only one drive. I was turned off by Apples' overall dumping of any good software (other than games) for its II series. I know, there are a "few" good programs out there. ANYWAY, if anyone out there can give me some good advice on modems for Apples II+ (NOT E) , please...e-mail me or post thru network. PS do you need a communications software for a modem or are the salesmen trying to sell me something I don't need?? Thanks, and excuse me for my ignorance on modems, Anton J.
