Interfaces and Modems Question

[William E Bejcek]

I currently have a 48K Atari 800 with a 1050 Disk Drive and a APE-FACE
interface (parallel port) for my printer. I want to buy a modem for this
system. I really haven't decided on 300 baud or 1200 yet, but, lets
just persue both routes for now.

If I go with 300 baud, it seems like the simplest thing to do is to go
get something that I can daisy chain in with the existing equipment that
comes complete with software and the like. Any suggestions? I was kinda
thinking about the 1030.

If I go with 1200 baud, it seems like I have to do two things. Get a new
interface and pick a modem. Is this really true, or does someone make a
1200 baud modem that I can daisy chain in without addition hardware? If not,
does any one have suggestions on an interface to buy? Is the old 850 the
only device, or is there something else that can replace my current APE-FACE
interface or co-exist with it? If I can figure out what is available for
interfaces, I think I can figure out what 1200 baud modem to buy.

Thanks in advance,
