The original message got garbaged, so I didn't see it (hey, there
really IS a line-eater!).  Anyhow: any terminal program that will work
with the 1650 or 1660 will work with the 1600 -- IF you have a
telephone connected to the same line. The only thing that the 1600
won't do is auto-dial, you'll have to do that yourself when the
program thinks that it is auto-dialing your modem.  The secret is,
when the 1660 dials, hold the telephone handset up to the monitor
speaker. And when the 1650 dials, dial the number manually with your
telephone. The on-offhook protocol is the only difference between
these modems In fact, I've used many 1650 terminal programs with the
1660, just by telling it I want the modem offhook when I want the
modem onhook and vice-versa, and using the telephone to dial.

Always willing to answer telecommunications questions (I've spent the
last 2 years fighting the idiosyncracies of almost every modem on the
market)...
