[net.wanted] Atari.modem.question

gwa@whuxle.UUCP (01/25/84)

I've recently acquired an Atari 800XL for my family (me,spouse,5 yr old son).
I'd like to get a modem (possibly underwritten by my company) to talk to the
unix mini-computer at work. Eventually, I'd like to get a monitor and a printer
for my own use and the company's. At that point I could return the TI 745 of
the company's that I keep at home.
My question is: Does anyone have experience with trying to do what I suggest?
In particular, how does the 37 column limitation of the Atari work when the
mini expects an 80 column format?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I don't want to buy until I know
what the capabilities and limitations are.
