Subj: REPLY TO MSG #4509 (WP2 COMM STUFF)

----
Your message looks fine, John.  I moved it, and this reply, into the
(1)Conference, public message area for group discussion.

I, personally, do not use a WP-2.  Yes, I did own one for awhile, but that was
for testing purposes.  I no longer own a WP-2, nor do I have a WP-2 manual in
the shop.  Things come and go around here, pretty quickly.

Anyway, in response to your questions about using external modems and capturing
online sessions, I would think that you could use just about any external modem
with the WP-2.  I believe that you had to use an external modem, anyway, since
the WP-2 did not come with a built in modem.  As for capturing online sessions,
I am not sure but I thought that the WP-2 supported only xmodem
transfers--although this seems kind of lame.  For both questions, check your
manual.  I do recall extensive discussions on the subject of communications.
In any case, I would encourage you to play with the telcom features built into
your WP-2 to discover their functions.  You can not hurt your computer or any
host computer (like this BBS) just by playing around.

In closing, let's hope one of our fellow online WP-2 members reads your message
and can add some real-world answers.  Good luck... -Rick-
