Anyone Have information about the Tandy 2212 Direct connect modem? it has a serial#:003077 and catalog#:26-1176. It was included when I bought my 3rd Tandy 2000 . Anyone have a good terminal program for the 2000? I have msWindows, msPlan, dBase 3, Word Perfect, Vidterm, Teleterm, Autocad demo & 1st Publisher. -- Thank You. YOU MAY BE PERFECTLY FRANK WITH ME. | Steve R. Newton 128.101.236.1 And I will be perfectly Steve with you.| sNewton@donald.c.umn.edu

The 2212 wasn't a BAD modem, but there are so many better modems at 1200 BPS available now, I wouldn't bother it. I've seen workable 1200 modems that are Hayes compatible (At least they have the AT attention command) for prices well under $50, one for $29.95, that unless you have software that knows about the 2212, kiss it off. But if you persist, the 2212 senses baud from the terminal issuing an "*." with no trailing CR or LF. Then it's DT for Dial Tone, the number, and "X" for eXecute. "," is a pause if I remember. I haven't played with a 2122 since maybe 1986 or so. Mike Yetsko
