Quick-before it's too late: Questions on modems

[Swamp Thing]

I am thinking of purchasing on of those combination modem-ASCII converters for
the TS-1000. Couple of questions:

1) Any general comments?

2) Do you know of any specific models to get ( or avoid ) and where they are
available?

3) Can you get upper and lower case? I'm thinking of using it to mainly
enter text. Is this feasable? I could live with ed, but vi would be
better. Any hope at all?

4) Anyone got a used one currently being used as a doorstop that they would
consider selling?

Thanks in advance. Mail responses to me. I'lll post a summary (perhaps
somewhere else, unfortunatley)
