I have a standard modem which I am using with my terminal presently, but I
would like to hook it up to my 800XL.  I read about the serial to RS232 cable
but one person seemed to think there would exist some problems with such
a system.  On the other hand, I have seen modems which hook up through the
joystick port.  Has anyone put together a homebrew system in this manner,
or if they have any ideas about doing so, I would sure like to find out.
Thanks in advance for any advice,

Jerry Zarycky
