I have a C-64 and I want to download to a 4.3 BSD UNIX mainframe. Will any modems also require certain interfaces or any modifications? I really don't know much about the way computers actually work, so please don't recommend modems that need a EE degree to modify it for my applications :-) Also, what price ranges should I be expecting to deal with? .signature ?????
