Anybody know what baud rates are possible for the modem port of the
WP-2 word processor? (I'm interested in using it as a very portable
terminal rather than as a word processor. Can't find a Radio Shack
store employee who knows the meaning of "baud rate"; and the
catalog doesn't even mention the number of characters in the display!)
Is there a better product for the purpose?

WP-2 manual says set to 300 baud for cable connection to aother computer, 8/N/1, Xon enabled, half duplex. for Modem connect, manual mentions 1200, 7/e/1, full duplex, Xon enabled, XModem error specs. Since you didn't ask, I'll tell you anyway that it comes with printer support for Tandy and IBM Proprinters. Bob M., PSU-Harrisburg -- ONly thing WP-2 doesn't have that I want is a calculator module. Wonder why they didn't include???

The menu has all the stanard rates up to 9600. Don't know for sure
if they all actually work.

For word-processing, it appears to be 8 lines by 65 characters. The
actual display is longer than that; but the right margin isn't used by
the WP. You may get 75 for telecommunication, I don't have the right
cables to try it out yet (just got this beastie).
