I should be getting a 520st this weekend (47st Photo at 495 dolars) and
would appreciate any response to a few questions.  A few people on the
network were discussing the AVATEK (sp?) 1200 baud modem a while back.
Does this connect to the serial port?  Also, are the terminal programs
available port-specific?  That is will the same terminal program that
I could use to connect to the serial line in my office also be used
with a modem with a parallel port?  Or is this inexpensive modem a
serial device?  Also, is there someone in the Ithaca NY area with a
copy of the starter kit?
         thanks in advance,
