The T: handler is built in to the 1030, and some terminal programs do load the 
handler from the modem (such as older versions of 1030 Express!).  You hear
basically the same whine from the 1030 when the T: handler is being loaded as
when the R: handler is being loaded from the 850.  The T: handler (or any 
other handler for that matter) is not built into the XM301 though.

To use the built in terminal software (ModemLink(?)), all you have to do is
boot the computer without any other devices on (except for the printer, if you
use it with Modemlink) and without BASIC.  The built in software on the 1030
is not very good (to say the least).  No file transfer what so ever.  Just,
basically, a dumb terminal.

One thing I have to say in its (Modemlink) defense, it is good if you just want
something to log-on quickly.
