I recommend:
Tenex Computer Express
Somewhere in Indiana
If anyone has the address handy, please post it for those whose catalogs from
Tenex are lost in their messy rooms :-)
I've ordered from them 8 or 9 times, even got the preferred customer envelope.
They give good prices. I would've saved $20 if I'd ordered Aprotek's C24 modem
from them and not Aprotek themselves :-(
I use a C-128D with VT100-128 at 2400 baud, but there is no TRUE problem with
the 64 doing 2400 baud. 2400 baud is the max speed, but it works PERFECTLY
whenever a machine-language term program is used. The problems only come up
when a non-machine language term prog is used.

There ya go.
