Summary: 1650 good enough for me Re: Modem Help

With all this talk about modems going around, I thought I'd add my two
cents. I bought a 1650 compatable with a package called Total Telecom-
munications a while back for $40. I saw it last week in one magazine or
another for only $30. It's not Hayes compatible, but if you get a good
software package, or are good enough to write your own software for it,
It can be quite good. I've had mine auto-redialing, auto-answering and
all the things the Hayes' can do. Of course, the Hayes is easier to use,
but if your on any kind of buget and don't mind a little work (if you
want to call it that) this might not be such a bad deal.

A few things could be wrong. You have to make sure your modem is set up
to recieve the same transmition format that the other is sending. Things
to check are word-length, parity type, duplex, etc. I had the same problem
when calling my schools mainframe, until I found out it was set to 7 bit
words and even parity. Good luck...
