Subj: REPLY TO MSG #1129 (USING RS-232 & MODEM AT SAME TIME)

Irving: To make a long story short.  It is not possible to use both the modem
and the RS232c port at the same time.  Bottem line: Stop trying!
 
Gee, that was sort of harsh, huh?!  Many, many, many, many VERY WELL qualified
folks have tried to program the Model 100 for concurrent modem and RS232c port
use.  The only tricks that worked involved hardware modifications of one sort
or another.  The major obstical is that the Model 100 has only one UART.  That
says it all!  Sorry about the bad news but someone had to break it to you.
However, if you "do" happen to find a way, please let us know (grin).  -Rick-
