Re: Using modem on IIGS

[Tony Cianfaglione <ab616@chebucto.ns.ca>]

   You don't need a card, just a high speed Mac modem cable to connect
from your serial port 2 to a 56k external modem.  Set to the highest
setting and the speed will go from there automatically.  

   The problem stems from how fast the GS can handle the incoming data.  A
stock 2.7-2.8mhz GS will probably choke beyond 19,200bps whereas an
accelerated GS (using TWGS or Zip) can probably handle quite a bit more
than that.  I don't know if a GS could handle the full 56k.
