Does anyone there in netland have a BBC micro? This machine is extremely
popular in England, but here in the US it is too expensive to catch on.
I am the proud owner of one, and I would be interested to get in touch with
other BBC micro owners in order to exchange info and/or programs.
Please reply by mail, as I do not read net.micro. (Please determine my
path from the header - I know it is princeton!tilt!kyrimis , but it may
require additional prefixes).

1200 bps modem for ~$50 (50 Br. pounds) is available for the BBC micro,
in case anyone is interested.
I personally have never been exposed to the micro or the modem, and have
no ties to anyone producing either.

Regarding the ~$50 British 1200 bps modem:

Be warned that the use of split speed modems (1200/150, 1200/300)
is much more common in Europe than here--that modem *might*
be split speed and not a 1200/1200 type.  Also note that the
European 1200/1200 standard (V.22 as I recall) is not *quite*
the same as 212 standard, primarily in the call setup/handshaking
procedures.
