I am planning on buying a modem in the near future. I would like to get recommendations/suggestions/comments on the following items. 1. What brand name of modem to purchase? 2. What baud rate to get? 3. What are the available commercial and public BBS available. I am particularily intrested in BBS in the Milwaukee, WI area. I am also intrested in cost of membership to commercial BBS. 4. What are the different communication software packages available? 5. Do local (WI Bell) and/or long distance (US Sprint) have any special rates for computer transmission lines? 6. Anything else that is related. Please e-mail to timham@csd4.csd.uwm.edu Thanks in advance -Tim
