Moretz) Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 20 Hi folks! I'm looking for a little help that I thought modem people could help with. I've got an old model VenTel 2400 baud external modem that I have no doc. for and need to figure how to use it. It has two interfaces on the back, one RS232 marked Business Machine, (which I know what to do with) and one 6-pin interface marked TTY. Question 1: How do I wire this to my telephone? Or is this modem designed to be used only over private lines? I can see wiring it into a junction box and then turning the modem on afetr a carrier tone is heared over the ttelephone, but I'm not sure. Next, the modem has two push buttons on the front and several led lights, the lights indicate things like data send, data recieve, etc... but does anyone have a clue as to what the buttons do? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Larry Moretz
