Jeff,

I never could go above a 1200 connection.

First I used a Packard-Bell PB2400 and later a USR 28.8 but never was
able to get higher than a 1200 connect.

I also had a Super Snapshot v5 cartridge that had a 2400 baud modem in
it but never got it to go up to 2400.

I haven't had my 64 dial up anything for a long long time.

I have a Dial Up option on my DSL account but never thought to try to
dial that number using the 64.

The Terminal I have is Bobs Term Pro, but I would think all the HTML
garbage would cludder up the screen if I tried dial up on the internet.

As Mike said there is a CBM echo here and I read it but haven't posted
anything much.

Stephen Walsh has been posting the Commodore Free magazine in CBM from
www.commodorefree.com .

Here are a few C= web sites I've learned of recently:

www.cbm8bit.com

www.commodoreserver.com

www.commodoreusa.net

rr.c64.org

www.bombjack.org/commodore

www.lemon64.com  has a Forum

www.jppbm.com/1581kits.html

www.go4retro.com

ken.krother.com/1802   has a add on card for the C=64

ken.krother.com/1802/Stand-Alone/Comm64/index.htm

Some of the web sites are real interesting what is going on for the
C=64 PC.
