[net.micro] That BBC micro 50 quid modem.

	I've just got one, and will be posting a review to eunet.micro.acorn
asap. If you don't get that newsgroup, and you're interested, mail me and
I'll mail a copy.

	Quick summary. It's NOT a 1200/1200 modem. It can do
300/300, 1200/75 (Prestel) and 75/1200 (reverse Prestel). It will also
auto-dial and auto-answer. Speeds are CCITT or Bell. It uses some
devious software to dial and other things, which will cost you another
20 quid for the Beeb (ROM). Versions for the IBM PC and C64 are supposed
to be in the pipeline, but don't hold your breath.
