I'm also buying a modem. I'm going to cheat and buy an IBM external 2400 baud modem, and then buy a RS232-round pin adapter cable. I have been told that this will allow an IBM modem to work on my Mac just dandy fine...any objections? Also, what programs provide error checking during transmission? The modem I'm planning to buy probably doesn't have any hardwired error checking...
