Hi Ozz,

One can really wonder because the original PCB modem seems to handle
both landline and Internet connections via the laptops built-in antenna.

I did use the Internet access in a Lenovo until its UART gave up.

I don't use the built-in reply function. I download the messages as QWK
packets and then use the MR/2 reader/editor (highly recommended) to read
and reply. After I'm finished with the mail I upload the replies as QWK
packets.

For down/uploading the packets I use a 3rd-party PPE (QWKSCAN) program
because I found the original PCB utilities a bit cumbersome. Of course
one can get used to them.


Have a nice day,

Holger
