First of all I would like to publicly thank Bob Turner for
his help in getting this  machine up and running..

I still need some basic help in getting things working and maybe
someone ( with an Osborne 1 ) could help.
I don't know alot about ports, etc. but I would like to use
a modem with the Osborne 1. I know that you have to reverse the
2 and 3 pins on the rs 232 to make a modem work there and I 
have done that.  I can get it to work but the dtr light doesn't
come on and the modem functions, such as autodial, doesn't work.
 Can I hook up to the 9 pin modem port?
 Instead of the rs 232  port?
Another question,  I want to hook up a cheap monitor ( TV ) if
possible.  Can someone tell me what would be the cheapest
alternative.  I do have the 80 column upgrade, but when I have
tried to use a ext monitor, the top and bottom are off the screen!

That should hold me for now..

Thanks
