Barry,

 BM> Screeeeech, squawksch! Boing! Boing!
 DS> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsNaR6FRuO0

 BM> No boing-boing -- no wonder he didn't connect.  Maybe was on 7E1
 BM> instead of 8N1.

  Well, he was connecting to an ISP and not to a BBS. I remember
the Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100 laptop allowed you to change
the start bits, stop bits, and parity settings...but 8N1 I think
is the most common.


 BM> ...  Oh, give me a phone, with a modem on loan... 
 DS>   The phone is rotary, but the modem is square. <G>

 BM> So? They put round pizzas in square boxes!

  And square pegs in round holes. :P

 BM> ... 28800: Can I wire twelve 2400 modems in series?

  Don't trip over the cables. <G>

Daryl

.... I tried an internal modem, but it hurt when I walked.
