Atari-Collector Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 finally felt like messing with the modem on the 800XL and 850, I tried two different modems, a 2400 baud Zoom with MNP5 and a USR 56K.. It didn't go as planned. I tried this with Express 850 and BOBterm, same basic results, the terminal would echo letters back as I type, but the modem would no respond to any commands. The cable I made myself used cat 5e cable, and i've triple checked it matches the 850's non standard pin-out. is it just something about modem that are meant to have locked ports speeds that killed this or am I (probably) doing something wrong? back in the day I had a P:R: connection and never had this issue. of do I just need a standard modem that doesn't do the MNP/v.42 stuff? I have a 2400baud Supra I got for free at a flea market a while back.. but seems I over paid for it.. I know people are going online with these old machines.. I just need to figure out how, right now I think I need a standard 2400 with out the locked port speed stuff..? if I'm not making sense.. it's 4am...
