 Mark outgassed these fumes:

 "H<| 1.  What modem speeds will the machine support?  Appleworks showed
    | a high of 2400 bps (wow).

Ewwwww!  Don't use a word processor as a term program.  R.A.T. Rule #37

The GS will handle up to 19,200 all by its lonesome, or 56k if you use
ProTerm 3.1 (and there's a CDA called QuickPort which is supposed to let
you run any other zippy term program at >19.2).  I'm at 14.4 meself.

 "H<| 2.  Modems appear to be available, reading the posts of this
    | newsgroup. What's a reasonable deal, including everything to get

$25 for a 14.4 external modem, $5 for a modem cable, your prices may
vary on who you are calling (free to $30 per month).

 "H<| 3.  Will he need any additional, or better, comm software?

If you're using AppleWorks as a term program, undoubtedly.  Get ProTerm
3.1 and see the world.

 "H<| 4.  Can he get 'net access on the //GS?

Darn straight.  I'm writing this from my //e so anything's possible.
