... REVIEW: THE MINIMODEM-C BY APROTEK
.. REVIEWED BY SCOTT E. RESH..
I NEEDED A MODEM. THERE ARE A.LOT OF DI
FFERENT MODEMS FOR C64 AND.C128 COMPUTER
S, WITH COMMODORE'S OWN.1670 BEING THE S
TANDARD 1200 BAUD.MODEM. UNTIL NOW...
THE APROTEK MINIMODEM-C MAY.BECOME THE
NEXT STANDARD. IT COMES.IN A VERY NICE
, TINY PACKAGE, BUT.DON'T LET THE PHYSIC
AL SIZE OF MODEM.FOOL YOU! A BUNDLE OF
FEATURES WERE.PACKED INTO THIS MODEM, WI
THOUT.SACRIFICING QUALITY AND PERFORMANC
E.... THE MODEM IS A LITTLE BLUE BOX.
ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DECK OF CARDS..AT ON
E END OF THE MODEM IS THE USER.PORT CONN
ECTOR. AT THE OPPOSITE END.IS A PERMANE
NTLY ATTACHED PHONE CORD.THAT IS TERMINA
TED BY A MODULAR PLUG... EVEN THOUGH
THIS MODEM IS TINY, IT.STILL HAS A SPEAK
ER IN IT! THE MODEM.ALSO HAS SEVEN STAT
US LEDS. THAT'S.SEVEN MORE THAN THE 167
0... I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN "USER.PAC
IFICATION" (I.E. KEEP THE USER.HAPPY).
IF YOU'RE USING A 1670 AND.SOMETHING GOE
S WRONG, YOU'RE FORCED.TO SIT THERE AND
LOOK AT A LITTLE.WHITE BOX. BIG HELP...
THE LEDS ARE:.. SEND DATA -- LIGHTS WHE
N YOU SEND. A BYTE.. OFF
HOOK -- LIGHTS WHEN THE MODEM.
"PICKS UP" THE PHONE.. 1200 BAU
D -- ON FOR 1200, OFF FOR.
300 BAUD.. CARRIER DETECT -- LIGHTS W
HEN THE. MODEM SENSES THE
MODEM. TO COMMUNICATE WI
TH.. RECEIVE DATA -- LIGHTS WHEN THE.
MODEM RECEIVES A BYTE...
AUTO ANSWER -- ON WHEN THE MODEM IS.
IN AUTO ANSWER MODE.. READY
-- JUST LIKE THE POWER LED ON.YOUR C64/
C128. IF YOUR MODEM IS.PLUGGED INTO YOU
R COMPUTER AND THIS.LED IS NOT ON, YOU'R
E IN TROUBLE!.. THE MINIMODEM-C'S DOC
UMENTATION IS.CONCISE BUT DETAILED. IT
COMES IN A.12-PAGE BOOKLET... YOU ALS
O GET A DISK WITH SEVERAL.TERMINAL PROGR
AMS, FOR BOTH THE 64.AND THE 128. TWO A
RE EVEN IN.80-COLUMNS..... EACH TERMI
NAL PROGRAM HAS ITS OWN.BEST FEATURE SO
YOU MAY WANT TO USE.ONE FOR DOWNLOADING
AND ANOTHER FOR.CHATTING. I USE MULTITE
RM AND.HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT
-- A.RARITY FOR A C64 TERMINAL PROGRAM!.
. I'VE ALSO USED GEOTERM WITH MY.MODE
M. THE TWO OF THEM WORK VERY.WELL TOGET
HER... THE MINIMODEM-C FOLLOWS STANDA
RD.HAYES PROTOCOL EVEN MORE THAN THE.167
0. SEVERAL PAGES OF THE MANUAL.ARE DEVO
TED TO HAYES-TYPE COMMANDS.FOR ADVANCED
USERS..... THERE ARE SEVERAL TESTING.
PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THE MANUAL SO.YOU
WON'T HAVE TO WORRY IF A PROBLEM.IS DUE
TO A FAULTY MODEM. THE EIGHT.DIP SWITC
HES ARE VERY EASY TO GET TO..NO UNSCREWI
NG IS NECESSARY... THE BEST THING ABO
UT THE.MINIMODEM-C IS ITS PRICE, WHICH I
S.RIGHT AT $60 THROUGH MOST MAIL ORDER.H
OUSES. SURE, THERE ARE 300 BAUD.MODEMS
FOR A LOT LESS BUT BULLETIN.BOARDS AND O
NLINE SERVICES, LIKE.Q-LINK AND MINITEL,
ARE MUCH BETTER.AT 1200 BAUD. WHEN YOU
'RE ON THE.PHONE, TIME IS MONEY.....
THE BEST THING I CAN SAY ABOUT.THE MINIM
ODEM-C IS THAT I'VE BEEN.USING IT FOR SE
VEN MONTHS NOW, AND.HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS
WHATSOEVER!.. IF YOU'RE SHOPPING FOR
A MODEM,.THE MINIMODEM-C IS A WISE CHOI
