Subj: REPLY TO MSG #5947 (MODEM FOR WP2)
Jim ... two excellent questions ... > I am interested in finding out what modems can be used with wp2. Any external modem normally used by microcomputers. Yes, I could give you some technical details but let's keep this simple. You will have good luck at 300 and 1200 baud. I am not sure about 2400 to 9600 baud, and would tend to feel that anything over 9600 baud is useless due to the WP2's lack of data compression software support. In any case, first start at 300, then move up through the speeds. Practice on a local BBS as your target host system. Note: Always thank that systems system operator (sysop) for their kindness. > I would also like to know if it is possible to connect to america on > line or compuserve with a wp2? Compuserve yes. AOL no. Hope this helps ... at your service ... -Rick-
