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.

Compuserve yes.  AOL no.

Hope this helps ... at your service ... -Rick-
