I am looking for a few things for my 128.
I am looking for a 9600 baud modem for my 128. What kind of modem will
work with Desterm or does it matter? Will one that has MNP work and if so
can it utilize the MNP on a 128 w/ Desterm?
Secondly I am looking for a hard drive. Preferibly one that is expandible
via a SCSI port. If anyone has one they are willing to sell me (cheap is the
word here) I would greatly appreciate it.
Next, I am looking for a C, Fortran, and a Pascal compiler (not all in
one obviously). If someone could tell me where I could find a shareware or pd
one I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Russ

Will one that >has MNP work and if so can it utilize the MNP on a 128 w/ Desterm? During development, DesTerm was tested on (my) USRobotics Courier HST, version 964 (9600 bps carrier, MNP5). It has also been tested on a Telebit Trailblazer Plus and a 1442 revision HST. Basically, DesTerm will work with any more or less Hayes compatible RS-232 modem; I can't think of any major brand of external dialup modem that doesn't qualify. DesTerm will, without any additional hardware, operate a modem at interface speeds up to 9600 bps. With a SwiftLink or HART cartridge, it will operate at 38,400 bps. DesTerm's "[Don't] Set Connect Speed" option was designed for use with modems that fix their RS-232 speed higher than the physical connect speen in order to take advantage of the throughput increases offered by protocols such as MNP or V.42. If your modem's connect strings differ from the deafults, DesTerm's "Hayes Setup" menu allows you to configure the terminal to put up with whatever your modem prefers to say. The decision as to which modem to buy is up to you; it depends mostly on your budget and what protocol(s) are supported by your current and likely future contacts. Once you decide, Matt or I will be glad to try to help you configure both the modem and the terminal program for optimum performance. -- Geoffrey Welsh - Operator, Izot's Swamp BBS (FidoNet 1:221/171) root@zswamp.uucp or ..uunet!watmath!xenitec!zswamp!root 602-66 Mooregate Crescent, Kitchener, ON, N2M 5E6 Canada (519)741-9553 "He who claims to know everything can't possibly know much" -me
