would a standard rs232 cable work as a cable for modem for the A2000 ? My dealer says yes, but it doesn't work. the TR, SD and RD are always on. He tested the machine and says nothing is wrong with the serial port and blamed the modem. Well the modem works fine with my A1000 (I'm posting this using it). It is an Avatex 1200 modem. Does anybody know what could be wrong ? Please respond by email. - Ziad najem@cs.uiuc.edu

The same modem cable won't work on both the A1000 and the A2000. For the A2000
you need an IBM compatable modem cable.
