Does anybody have any idea where I can get a 1200 baud modem for my TRS-80
ModIII? I need an external modem. The only com package that I currently
have is LazyCom 2.2. If you have any suggestions where I can get a modem
and/or software for an auto ans/dial I would appreciate it. If you can help
please send E-Mail.

I mention this occasionally as I have never been able to get anything off the net for the TRS to work and I'm the type that should be able to, so I assume I may not be the only one. The Club II (313) 334-8877 (3/12/2400) has an extensive collection of TRS Mod I/III/IV (in III mode) software online. For terminal software, generally XTERM is your best bet. LTERM is a little faster, but XTERM includes a Hayes-compatible dialing menu. There are also TRSLINK magazine archives on Club II. Download one of those and you'll find a good list of TRS supporting BBSes around the country. It's rather suprising how many there are. Terry Conklin conklin@egr.msu.edu

You can get modems from just about any mail order source these days, but it might be a good idea to just check your yellow pages for IBM shops in your area. An external modem for the IBM will work ont he Model III with no problem, you'll just need the cable (available at any radio shack computer center). There is a place local to me selling 2400 baud modems for $105 - I'd think that this would be a common price throughout the country. As for communication software, if LazyCom allows for file transfers via Xmodem, you should be able to pick up a better comm package from just about any TRS-80 BBS or even off of one of the national networks (like Compuserve or GEnie).

Or I could make you a good deal on my old copy of Vidtex for the M3...

I have an old 48k TRS80 model 3 (2 5 1/4 drives). I got it because it was
the first computer I had ever programmed on (and it was pretty cheap 8^).
Now I'm looking for stuff for it. I was wondering how to hook a modem
or printer up to it. It doesn't seem to have a RS232 or Centronics port.
Also when I got it it didn't even have the boot disks. I got some from a
guy at Radio Shack that they had lying around (didn't even know what they
were for!) but I think its on old version of the operating system. Where
can I find a new version? And finally I'm looking for any other software
like an Editor/Assembler or a C compiler or CP/M.
Thanks for any help/info!

If you want the TRSDOS, I may have an OLD diskette in unknown condition somewhere in my trash file. Mike Yetsko
