RE: Datalink 2400 as external modem

The datalink 2400 DOES act just like a 2400 baud external modem connected
to a super serial card for most purposes.  In fact, the fact that it is
SSC compatible is the reason I bought it -- I use it daily for banking at
home via modem and while the bank supports the Apple II line, it does not
have GS support and does NOT support the built-in com port.

I also have battlechess and although I have not tried communicating with
it, I believe the manual indicated that it ONLY SUPPORTS 300 BAUD.  Check
the manual -- if this is true, make sure you set the Datalink to 300 baud.

Hope this helps.
