Well, I was having massive problems with my Apple Modem 1200 connected to my Mac+, and none at all with a BlackBox 2400 baud modem hooked to a DEC VT220 on the same desk. I finally bought a cable to connect the BB modem to the Mac, and I haven't seen one garbage character in weeks (as opposed to 5 or so per minute with the Apple modem) running at 1200 baud. I took the VT220 back to work. Anyone want to buy an Apple modem? It might work OK with cleaner phone lines, or at a lower speed. -- Howard A.
