Does anyone have any information about a modem by WESTRIDGE? I bought it for $19 from COMB liquidators for my friend's C64. The software package with it is a simple terminal program for dialing into pay-for bbs (ie Compuserve). The company originally marketing it was Telelink software. They couldn't help me. All I want to do is write or get a terminal program with either kermit or umodem built in but I need the modem programming characteristics. (I also heard there was a VT52 term program for the C64 around here not too long ago, if anyone has that, much appreciated.) If anyone could help please leave me a message here in net.micro.cbm or call me at Convergent Technologies , Parsippany NJ (201)263-1500 Thanks much, Tim Erdies

It's a Commodore 1650 clone. There are many terminal packages out there for Commodore compatible modems, suggest you try Compuserve or Q-Link. This modem is a totally dumb modem. You have to control the switch hook and dial pulsing by poking the user port. There is probably a pinout the interface in the back of the manual, but I don't think you should have to re-invent the wheel. Jeff Porter Commodore Engineering
