Hi,
I've inherited this modem that I know very little about. It says
VEN-TEL on the front, has eight red lights, five black buttons, and
20 dip switches on the back. None have legible labels. I would
be forever indebted to a person who has a manual for/knows the operation
of this modem if they would correspond briefly with me through email
to help me figure out how to get it to work.
I don't even know if it's 1200 or 300 baud! I guess
I'm even assuming it's a modem, since there is a port for telephone
line and another for ``business machine'' in the front....naaah...it's
gotta be a modem.

If typing by hand, leave off the <> and %% in general. There is also an h command for help. Many options were set by the switches in the back, I'd appreciate a list of what those switches do myself. -- Nick Simicich --- uunet!bywater!scifi!njs --- njs@ibm.com (Internet)
