I just got a new line to maybe set up a BBS. It cost me about 40 dollars. Is
this a good deal or was I ripped off? They also tried to charge me for
connecting the line at my house which would have cost me another 40 dollars
and 14 dollars for every 15 minutes they were working. I said no to this
because I knew that all I had to do was connect two wires to two other wires.
=========================
[Moderator's Note: I would say $40 is about the right price for turning
on a new line. And unless a person is totally without any electrical/
electronic/wiring skills at all, you can always save money by doing as you
did and having the wire dropped off at a point of entry into your home
then you doing the rest. PT]
[In other correspondence, Mr. Peeters asks a question, better suited to comp.
dcom.modems, but posted here if anyone cares to write him back with an answer.]
I have a IIc and a supra 2400 baud modem. When I boot the IIc and go into
the modem, I can't seem to get the HS(high speed) light on. the only way I can
do that is by running programs like Proterm or some other modem program. How
can I initialize my built in serial card so it will work at 2400 baud?
Thanks.

[Moderator's Note: If you are using the Apple Super Serial Card (or compatible)
then you set the dip switches on the card for the default baud rate desired
when power is applied. Your comm program is changing these values through
software; by setting the dip switches, you set the default values through
hardware. PT]
