Summary: 


As far as I know, one cannot use the 100 as a modem because, although
it has two ports (direct-connect phone and RS232C) they share most of
the internal hardware.  As a result, you can only have one of the
two ports open at any time.  It's really unfortunate because I am in
the position myself of having bought an Atari ST and now have to
spend quite a bit more money to get a modem that doesn't even come
close to the functionality of that in my Model 100.  Oh well...

[mind you, if anybody does find of a way to do what I have said is
not possible, PLEASE let me know!]


As an aside, somebody recently posted a termcap for the Model 100
that set the column entry to 39 (ie. co=39) for which there is no
reason.  I use mine with the following termcap and everything works
perfectly -- this includes: vi, more, emacs, etc.  Note that this
termcap also makes sure the label line is removed when going into
'vi' and allows the use of the arrow keys!!!
