I am new to the net, in fact this is my first posting to it.  I have
been having a friend print it for me and have been reading it since the
beginning of summer.  I don't have a modem, my friend is posting this
for me, but I want to get one.  I own an Atari 1040 ST and want to know
what modem and modem software is recommended.  I want a 2400 baud modem.
The prices here are $200 plus about $60-$80 for software and cables.  Is
this a good price?  Is there anything I should know about modems before
I buy one?

I know it's probably a dumb question, but, also I have seen people talk
about arcing, dearcing, coding, and uncoding.  What does all this mean,
and where can I find out?

          Thanks in advance, Aric Friesen.
