[TriLUG] A Slow Serial Modem

[Paul G. Szabady]

Hi,

No idea why you can't connect one to the other.  However, I have some old
(circa 1998) external modems if you're interested.  I believe I have at
least one each of the following:

US Robotics - Courier V.Everything
Motorola <something> 28.8
Practical Peripherals (?) 1200 bps

Let me know (off list) if you'd like to try one or more of these...
