I'm looking for a cheap high speed Commie compatible modem. First of all, how fast can the 128 go? I hear it can do 9600, but as the 64 runs only half as fast and can just barely handle 2400, how is that possible? Does anyone know how much a 9600 runs for? How about 2400? In the event that I can't find a commodore compatible one, does anyone know where to find an rs232-commie port converter? Thanks. -- Jin Choi jsc@athena.mit.edu 617-232-3257

Funny, I was told (after forwarding a FAQ from this group long ago to a C=64 owner) that the C=64 can handle 38400 bps, and he was surprised to see the FAQ asking if 2400 was possible. As I'm not a native C= user, my facts may be mixed up, but I understand there were/are modems available that plug into the cartridge slot. Not sure on their speed limitations. As to the other stuff, I guess I'm not much help. I'm here for the friend looking for a good Ymodem Batch protocol that can be used in conjunction with EBBS 64. >Thanks. >-- >Jin Choi >jsc@athena.mit.edu >617-232-3257 -- /// ____ \\\ "Now the world has gone to bed/darkness won't engulf my head./ | |/ / \ \| | I can see by infrared/how I hate the night.//Now I lay me \\_|\____/|_// down to sleep,/try to count electric sheep./Sweet greg \_\\\/ hoss.unl.edu dream wishes you can keep./How I hate the night."

The 64 can do 38400 baud with the use of something called the Swiftlink cartridge (from Dr. Evil Labs if I remember correctly).. I'm not certain about 38K, but I am pretty sure about 19.4K baud.
