Don't get an Amiga!!!
I bought my Amiga over two Months ago. I was Planing on making a BBS
on the computer.  So the first thing I do is spend $120 on a set of 
three BOOKS. Then I try to set up a printer cable by using the books
and the printer manual. The cable did not work as the book was all wrong.
None of the pins were right! 
This Book was made by commodore and is not worth the paper it is printed on.
Before I can make My BBS I need a few BASIC! (Not C!!!) peeks to check 
to see if the modem is ringing and to check for carrier.

I used the same book but in the HEX address it has R's all over them.
Now as I am only a Basic Programmer and not some Tech. from Amiga, I don't
know what R's are in Hex. 
I am from a Sorta little City up here in Newfoundland, and we only go
from A to F in HEX. (NO R's)
For the LAST time PLEASE TELL
me how to check for CARRIER
and RING from AMIGABasic.
And were can I get some GOOD
books on this computer.
