To USENET: I think the problem may be in the interface(Aprotek) I have an
Aprotek modem(Great little blue box!!) and their products for the C-64 only go
to 1200 baud. The RS-232 interface flyer does not mention a 2400 baud capacity,
so I assume that it will only(consitentl y) go to 1200. If I were selling a
product for the '64, I would mention the higher baud rate. Good luck
