Well, there are n different modems out there. You can probably pick up
an external 2400 baud modem for under $200 if you look in the right
places. As for software, well there are n different programs as well.
I've heard no end to the positive comments on ProTerm. Its only
drawback is the $195 pricetag. If you want something cheaper, then
there are three shareware programs that I know of: ATP, Z-Link, and
Talk is Cheap. Each have their advantages and disadvantages. I'd say
that none of them are any better than the other two, it's more just a
matter of taste. All are for under $30. Kermit is also available for
free. I'm personally biased toward Z-Link for two reasons: 1) I use it
all the time, 2) I wrote it.
