   I'm going to be purchasing a modem for my Atari 800 and need some info
on what to get.  I definately want the kind that connects to the SIO port,
no 850 interface needed, and I would perfer a 1200 BAUD unit to a 300 BAUD.
   The two I'm most interested in are the Supra MPP1200AT which is Hayes
command compatible for about $189, and the Digital Devices Pocket Modem which
is available both as a 1200 BAUD unit and a 300 BAUD which can be upgraded to
1200.
   I have some manufacturers literature on both of these but that's all adver-
tising.  Anyone ever use either of these?  Or have experience with any other
brands that you would recommend?  Any information would be appreciated.
