Summary: all recommendations seriously considered Message-ID: <6296@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu> Date: 13 Sep 88 14:51:35 GMT Reply-To: saponara@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu (Eric Haines) Organization: Theory Center, Cornell U., Ithaca NY Lines: 16 References: Organization: So, I've finally moved to a house where I don't have 13 other housemates who could pick up the phone and zap a modem link. I've got a IIGS. I mostly want a modem so as to hook up to my workstation at work (an HP 350) and to talk with a unix-based computer to do what I'm doing now - read-news. Other BBS communication might be nice, but not vital. Fast communication is a big plus (1200 baud minimum - is 2400 on the IIGS viable?). The question: What's the best modem & communications software for me? I'm fairly experienced with the Apple II in general, but know diddly about this topic. I'm willing to compile any responses and post them, so please just write to me. Sincerely, Eric Haines (who is not John Saponara)
