..^U:REVIEWS. A MESS OF MODEMS
.. BY JIM ROW.. WHAT IS
THIS WEIRD WORD, "MODEM"?.MY DICTIONARY
DOESN'T LIST IT BECAUSE.THE WORD IS SO C
ONTEMPORARY. THE.LORE IS THAT MODEM STA
NDS FOR."MODULATOR-DEMODULATOR", WHICH I
S.JUST AS CRYPTIC AS "MODEM". A MODEM.I
S SIMPLY A DEVICE THAT CONNECTS YOUR.COM
PUTER TO THE PHONE LINES AND ALLOWS.COMM
UNICATION WITH OTHER COMPUTERS.THROUGH A
BINARY CODE... WITH YOUR MODEM YOU C
AN CONNECT.TO MAJOR NETWORKS LIKE Q-LINK
,.COMPUSERVE, TELENET, PEOPLE LINK AND.M
ANY, MANY MORE... THERE ARE EVEN NETW
ORKS THAT.SUPPORT GAMES AND ALLOW YOU TO
PLAY.WITH OTHER PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD
..MANY OF THE MAJOR NETWORKS ALSO.INCLUD
E A "C.B." OR CONFERENCE AREA.WHERE YOU
CAN ACTUALLY TALK TO OTHER.PEOPLE IN LAR
GE GROUPS. THE ONLY.DRAWBACK IS THAT TH
EY COST MONEY..SOME NETWORKS ARE KNOWN T
O CHARGE UP.TO $12.00 AN HOUR DURING PRI
ME TIMES.OF THE DAY WHILE MANY OTHERS MA
Y ONLY.HAVE A MONTHLY CHARGE. EITHER WA
Y, IT.CAN GET EXPENSIVE VERY QUICKLY...
IN ADDITION TO THESE LARGE.SYSTEMS TH
ERE ARE BULLETIN BOARD.SYSTEMS (BBS) THA
T ARE USUALLY FREE... THE BEST-KNOWN
TYPES OF MODEMS.FOR YOUR COMMODORE COMPU
TER ARE.EITHER 1650 COMPATIBLE OR HAYES.
COMPATIBLE. JUST ABOUT ALL MODEMS.FIT I
NTO THESE TWO CATEGORIES. BUT.BEFORE I
GO INTO DETAILS, LET ME.DEFINE SOME TERM
S... THE "BAUD" RATE IS AN INTERNAL.C
YCLE TIMER THAT SAMPLES AN.ASYNCHRONOUS
LINE FOR DATA.TRANSMISSION. HUH? THE M
AJORITY OF.THE PUBLIC SEE IT AS "SPEED O
F THE.MODEM" OR HOW MANY BITS ARE.TRANSF
ERRED PER SECOND. THE MAIN.THING YOU SH
OULD KEEP IN YOUR MIND IS.THAT A 1200 BA
UD MODEM TRANSMITS DATA.FOUR TIMES AS FA
ST AS A 300 BAUD.MODEM.... AN RS-232
PORT IS A SERIAL PORT.ON MANY OF THE LAR
GER COMPUTERS WHICH.ENABLES COMPUTERS TO
SHARE COMPATIBLE.HARDWARE SUCH AS MODEM
S. MODEMS.THAT ARE RS-232 COMPATIBLE A
RE.USUALLY BETTER MADE THAN THOSE THAT.P
LUG DIRECTLY INTO YOUR C-64/128..ALSO, T
HEY OFTEN OFFER MORE FEATURES,.LAST LONG
ER AND HAVE FEWER PROBLEMS..THE ONLY PRO
BLEM IS THAT THE C-64/128.DOES NOT HAVE
A RS-232 PORT. IN.OTHER WORDS, YOU WILL
HAVE TO PURCHASE.A RS-232 INTERFACE, WH
ICH USUALLY RUN.AROUND $40...... IF Y
OU PLAN TO STICK WITH YOUR.COMMODORE COM
PUTER TILL DEATH DO YOU.PART, GET A COMM
ODORE-READY MODEM..IF YOU PLAN TO SWITCH
TO A DIFFERENT.BRAND COMPUTER (SHAME ON
YOU), GO.WITH AN RS-232 COMPATIBLE MODE
M... THE MAJORITY OF HAYES COMPATIBLE
.MODEMS ARE RS-232 STANDARD AND CAN.RUN
90% OF THE EXISTING TERMINAL.SOFTWARE.
THE HAYES COMMAND SET,.ONCE YOU LEARN IT
, IS VERY SIMPLE AND.POWERFUL. FOR INST
ANCE, THE COMMAND."ATDT 222-2222" TYPED
IN TERMINAL.MODE WILL CAUSE THE MODEM TO
DIAL AND.ATTEMT TO CONNECT YOU WITH A C
OMPUTER.AT THE PHONE NUMBER 222-2222....
OTHER MODEMS REQUIRE A LOT OF.REPROG
RAMMING OF THE TERMINAL.SOFTWARE AND AT
MANY TIMES ARE NOT.COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER
TERMINAL.SOFTWARE. FOR INSTANCE, THE 1
660 WILL.NOT WORK WITH TERMINAL SOFTWARE
.DESIGNED FOR THE 1650... THE COMMODO
RE 1650 MODEM IS NO.LONGER AVAILABLE BUT
IT HAS SET A.STANDARD FOR LOW-COST C-64
MODEMS..IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A LOW-
BUDGET.MODEM I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU.
PURCHASE A 1650 COMPATIBLE MODEM.......
NOW WE COME TO THE 1660, WHICH,.IN MY
OPINION, HAS DRAWBACKS THAT.SERIOUSLY O
UTWEIGH THE BENEFITS... THE MAIN DRAW
BACK IS THAT THE.USER MUST PLUG A CABLE
FROM THE AUDIO.OUTPUT OF THE COMPUTER IN
TO THE.MODEM. THEN THE USER MUST HAVE A
.CUSTOM TERMINAL PROGRAM THAT WILL.PLAY
THE APPROPRIATE TOUCH-TONE NOTES.ON THE
SID CHIP. UNLIKE THE 1650, THE.1660 HAS
TO HAVE A SPECIAL POKE FOR.IT TO CHECK
FOR A CARRIER TONE AND TO.BE ABLE TO SEN
D AND RECEIVE DATA..THIS MAKES IT INCOMP
ATIBLE WITH.ALMOST ALL EXISTING TERMINAL
.PROGRAMS.... ONE OF THE MAJOR BENEFI
TS IS THAT.THE MODEM HAS A BUILT-IN SPEA
KER.WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO LISTEN TO THE.PH
ONE LINE WHEN YOU ARE DIALING... THE
ABILITY TO PLAY ANY RANGE OF.TONES AND F
REQUENCIES ON THE PHONE.LINE OPENS UP MA
NY HACKING AND.PHREAKING POSSIBILITIES.
SINCE PHONE.PHREAKING IS ILLEGAL AND UL
TIMATELY.DESTRUCTIVE, I'M SURPRISED THAT
.COMMODORE ALLOWED A MODEM LIKE THIS.TO
BE MARKETED........ WRITING SOFTWARE
FOR THE 1660.IS QUITE A BIT MORE DIFFICU
LT THAN.WRITING FOR OTHER MODEMS. EARLY
.MODELS HAD PROBLEMS DETECTING CARRIER.S
IGNALS. COMMODORE HAS TRIED TO IRON.OUT
SOME OF THE WRINKLES BUT IT STILL.ISN'T
A GOOD MODEM FOR A BBS OR EVEN.PERSONAL
TELECOMMUNICATIONS... THE NEXT MODEM
IS VERY POPULAR.AND, IN MY OPINION, ONE
OF THE BEST.MODEMS EVER MADE BY COMMODO
RE. IT IS.THE 1670. THIS MODEM IS 300
AND 1200.BAUD. IT SUPPORTS SOME BUT NOT
ALL.OF THE HAYES COMMAND SET...... T
HE 1670 IS EASY TO PROGRAM AND.USE AND I
S COMPATIBLE WITH MOST.TERMINAL SOFTWARE
. IT IS REASONABLY.PRICED (BETWEEN $60
AND $90 DEPENDING.ON WHERE YOU BUY IT) A
ND THE ONLY.THING I CAN SAY AGAINST IT I
S THAT.ONCE YOU TRY 1200 BAUD, YOU HAVE
A.TENDENCY TO WANT 2400 BAUD... ANCHO
R'S VOLKS 6480 300/1200.MODEM IS A ONE I
DON'T RECOMMEND.UNLESS YOU'RE ONLY GOIN
G TO USE IT.WITH Q-LINK. OTHER COMMERCI
AL.APPLICATIONS ARE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE.B
ECAUSE OF THIS MODEM'S HARDWARE.DESIGN.
Q-LINK IS THE ONLY NETWORK.EXTENSIVE EN
OUGH TO SUPPORT IT.... IT COMES WITH
ITS OWN TERMINAL.PROGRAM BUT THE SOFTWAR
E DOESN'T.SUPPORT PUNTER PROTOCOL, WHICH
IS THE.STANDARD FOR TRANSFERRING PROGRA
MS.ON THE 64 AND 128... AND LAST IS T
HE HAYES 2400, THE.ROLLS-ROYCE OF MODEMS
FOR ANY.COMPUTER. HAYES SETS THE STAND
ARD.FOR RS-232 MODEMS. IF YOU WANT MANY
.FEATURES AND CAN AFFORD THE $400+.PRICE
TAG, THIS IS THE MODEM FOR YOU.........
THERE ARE OTHER 2400 BAUD MODEMS.THA
T COST LESS AND HAVE JUST AS MANY.FEATUR
ES. SOME OF THEM ARE THE.AVATEX 2400, T
HE SUPRA 2400 AND THE.U.S. ROBOTICS 2400
... WHICHEVER MODEM YOU CHOOSE, ONE O
F.YOUR MAIN CONCERNS WILL BE THE.TERMINA
L SOFTWARE TO USE WITH IT. WE.PUBLISHED
MIKE MAYNARD'S STAR.TERMINAL ON LOADSTA
R #47 AND OF.COURSE WE RECOMMEND IT FOR
300 OR.1200 BAUD USE. IT SUPPORTS BOTH.
X-MODEM AND PUNTER PROTOCOL....... IF
YOU WANT TO RUN A BULLETIN.BOARD, YOU S
HOULD GET A HIGH SPEED.MODEM, PREFERABLY
HAYES COMPATIBLE..FOR YOUR OWN USE I RE
COMMEND THE.COMMODORE 1670. IT WORKS GR
EAT WITH.Q-LINK... TAKE YOUR TIME AND
ASK OTHERS.WHO OWN A MODEM AND FIND OUT
WHAT YOU.WILL NEED IN A MODEM. IT WOUL
D.PROBABLY HELP TO READ A COUPLE OF.ARTI
CLES ABOUT TELECOMMUNICATIONS.BEFORE GOI
NG TO THE STORE. BOB BAKER.HAS AN ARTIC
LE IN EVERY ISSUE OF.COMMODORE MAGAZINE
THAT IS HELPFUL...... ONE IMPORTANT N
OTE FOR THE C-64.WHEN LOOKING FOR A FAST
MODEM IS THAT.THE C-64 HAS A DIFFICULT
TIME.HANDLING BAUD RATES FASTER THAN 120
0..IF YOU DO GET A 2400 BAUD MODEM YOU.C
AN STILL USE THE MODEM BUT AT A.LOWER BA
UD RATE. A C-128 CAN KEEP UP.WITH A 240
0 BAUD WHILE IN THE FAST.MODE BUT ANYTHI
NG FASTER THAN THAT IS.PUSHING IT, EVEN
FOR THE 128... GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR ON
-LINE FUN..CHECK OUT THE NEW PRODUCTS SE
