I found out the hard way. I thought I was doing something wrong

I had considered a membership at Syndicomm but went with
Call A.P.P.L.E. and now I need to reconsider joining Syndicomm
now that I can access their telnet sections with this. I'm having a
blast with it. Takes me back to the old BBS days when ANSI was
the greatest thing since sliced bread. ;-) If I could get the Spectrum
web browser to work with this connection, then I might possibly
be able to view web pages. Seems that 9600 bps is the best I can do
with it.
