[comp.sys.cbm] Which modem to buy

mullen@b.gp.cs.cmu.edu (John Mullen) (01/26/89)

I am looking for a 1200 baud modem and a kermit package to download text files
such as mail, etc.  What types of modems are there?  I have a C-64 and I want
to download to a 4.3 BSD UNIX mainframe.  Will any modems also require certain
interfaces or any modifications?  I really don't know much about the way
computers actually work, so please don't recommend modems that need a EE degree
to modify it for my applications  :-)  Also, what price ranges should I be
expecting to deal with?

Get Commodore's 1670 modem.  1200 baud, total Hayes compatibility and
works on both 64 and 128.  It costs from $59-$70 depending on where you can
find the best deal.
