Not to be utterly naive, but I do want to know more about what type
of Sportster modem are out there and which ones are ideal to get for
the Amiga..I would like to know which shops I can purchase one from
and or the price of one that will configure to that 16.8k speed...

Also any more info on how to configure the modem would be nice as well..

Please reply, thanks

IF that is what the manuals meant.  However, that is not what they are
refering to.  

Speed measurement is number of bits per second, regardless of how many
phases, channels, etc.  Baud cannot descibe this measurement on a "format
free" basis.  That is, no matter what form of transmission, BPS is always a
perfectly accurate and concise means of descibing speed.  Baud is only
accurate in a few instances.  It's like using the term SPEED instead of MPH.
MPH is only one description using one set of measurements.  SPEED translates
to any measurement or method - it is always "distance per time." (Actually,
baud would be more like "wheel revs" vs.  speed :-)

Subject: Term 2.4a problems
Summary: more woes
Organization: York University, CS Dept. Toronto
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1992 12:47:17 GMT

When I saw today that a new  version  of  Term  was  released,  I
thought  I'd give it a try, especially since JR-Comm doesn't have
an ARexx port.

Now I've tried Term before, but I've always went back to  JR-Comm
because  I've  been  unable to get Term to transfer file reliably
while I do ANYTHING else (and I was hoping I had bought a  multi-
tasking  machine  :)  ).   Last  time I tried it, it seemed a bit
better, but I had a problem with losing a large amount of  memory
after  running  term.  Every time I started and stopped Term, I'd
lose about 400K.Well, I still seem to  be  having  this  problem.
Can  any  point  me  to a few things to try?  I like the look and
feel of Term, but I certainly can't give up a 400K every  time  I
want to use my modem.

Thanks in advance.

And you do.  Use call block or don't call anyone you don't want to have your
number.  Or, use a payphone.  There, you have your privacy.  No one put a
gun to your head and asked you to call them, did they?  

If someone wants info on you, there are MANY other ways besides caller ID.
I traced a guy down who I had bought something from over the net and hadn't
heard from him for weeks.  I ended up talking to his local police and
getting his address, etc.  Needless to say, I got the object I had payed for
when I let him know how much trouble I'd go through with his local
authorities.  :-) (Notice I kept WITHIN the law and moral practices at all
times.)

I have just put a deposit down on an A4000, and I want to run ethernet between
the new machine, and my A3000, so i can access the modem, and the Postscript 
laser, And hard drives, from either machine.

I have been told of 3 packages that will do this.  Quicknet (Black Knight - so I don't really want that), Enlan-DFS (But i don't know if this is just software,
or hardware as well), and GPSoft's AmigaNet.  I would prefer to use the CBM 
ethernet card as I can get a good deal on them.

Can anyone with any experience with any of the above packages please mail me,
and I'll post a summary.

Oh - and if someone at GPSoft has an e-mail address please let me knwo and save
me the STD phone call.

Thanks in Advance

Turning CTS/RTS on/off is a software function checked by the serial
device handler on each character.  It will attempt to stop the modem
when its buffer is almost full.  I believe that if the modem ignores
the hardware flag, it still processes each character and can have a
lose of characters.  Basically, the CTS/RTS flag is just a bit the
serial device sets to tell the modem or serial device to stop.

I suppose you already have that on your list, but here it is anyway : Let Term2.5
be able to use a window on the WB screen, instead of an own screen! PLEEEEASE!

BINGO!  I have a simple rule: No ID listed... No answer.  Simple as that.

Why should I waste my time talking to
a) someone I don't want to talk to (phone babboons)
b) a wrong number (saves embarassment of the other party also)
c) obscene calls at 2am.

etc.

I DO feel like I'm being gouged by the phone co. though.  This service
is expensive!
