I have a Bell 212 compatible modem that I would like to use with my Apple II GS. I have seen lots of programs that claim to be "fully Hayes compatible". Will they work with a dumb 212 modem? This modem has no autodialling capabilities - you must connect a telephone set to it. Thanks for any help. jim brohard cbsds!jmb

I spent last semester using an Anderson-Jacobsen modem that used some Racal- Vadic protocol for 1200 baud (but Bell for 300). Cost $30. Not a bad way to enter into the communications world (thanks to UCB's Vadic line...) I was using ProTERM with the modem specified as "Null Modem Driver." I also was able to successfully use Z-Link and Talk is Cheap (make sure to turn the DSR/DTR handshake in the control panel off for the latter, tho; it had some problems). The bottom line is: there's a lot of good software that doesn't care WHAT kind of modem you have, and the ones that do generally accept the fact that you may want to just plug two computers together. >Thanks for any help. >jim brohard -- fadden@zen.berkeley.edu [crashed] c60c-3aw@widow.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden)
