The Great Communicator The direct-connect® Hayes and Commodore® 1670

compatible 1200 Baud modem for ONLY $89.95 Now that you're able to do all those stand alone

applications with your Commodore, like word proces sing, spread sheet analysis, and many others, you are probably thinking "It would sure be nice if I could expand the amount of data I have access to." You are quite right, everything from Electronic Mail (E-mail) to stock quotes and huge databases of every imaginable type is now on line to the small computer owner. You can even send and receive messages anywhere in the world. All you need is a telephone and a modem which allows your computer to communicate with others through these many services. The next question is: "Which modem is best for

me?" Let us first say that almost all modems (and services) are set up to communicate in one of three speeds; 300, 1200 and 2400 Baud.

Commodore 1670 compatible therefore not usable in all situations and with all services. The Aprotek

Minimodem-C™ is both Hayes and Commodore 1670 compatible and 1200 baud. Why not get a modem that will satisfy your present AND future needs by going

directly to an inexpensive Aprotek Minimodem-CIV

2400's are great (and quite expensive), only if you have a dedicated, data-grade phone line. Here's why. The regular phone system doesn't have the signal clarity and bandwidth to support more than about 1200

baud and as a result, 2400 Baud modems will usually run at either 1200 or, on a real bad line, 300 Baud.

They adapt to the worst-case line conditions and will

slow transmission accordingly. Why buy a 2400 Baud modem for a lot more money when it's going to transmit at 1200 Baud most of the time anyway? (Kind of like buying a sports car then always running at lower speed).

You will also notice a few very cheap 1200s on the
