"Oh no. I would yes to her in a
second."

Is a decent 1200 baud modem out there
which is kinda cheap(below 100
dollars). Also what in the heck is a
P:R: connection.

Yes I am thinking about going 1200
baud!!!!!


MODEMS
Ml
Wed 13-Jan-88

Avatex 1200E!  100% Hayes compatiple,
light weight, small...$85 delivered
directly from the company.  Leave me
feedback for the address if
interested.  A P:R: Connection, by
ICD, is an interface to hook up a
standard parallel printer (IE: Dot
matrix printer) and a standard serial
modem (IE:Avatex 1200E).  You also
need a modem cable and printer cable
for the P:R: Connection.
                    -Ml


MODEMS
Tom McGill
Wed 13-Jan-88

Well, the SX212 is under $100.00,
I've seen it for as low as $79.00.
Now that the SX212 Companion is out,
this modem is excellent to use.  All
you need is another SIO cable.  A
P:R: Connection is the equivalent of
an 850 interface.  P: stands for
Printer and the R: stands for RS232
port, which is used for the modem,
but a P:R: Connection is not needed
with the SX212.

What is this modem a direct hookup to

something?

A 100% hayes compatiple modem has a
speaker...1200 HC and 1200 E are 100%

  Okay, okay, I admit, I DID go to
the Kiss concert last night and sort
of enjoyed it. But I don't think Kiss
is THAT good, anyway. Honest! I still
don't beleive I blew 40 bucks to go
to it in one day. Good thing I bought
the old Def Leppard tickets before!

My modem has been acting up. So most

I guess it is time to get a 1200 baud
modem soon.

MICHAEL RENDOS
Mon 18-Jan-88

do you mean that the Byner fumble was
upsetting. About a length of a
cigarette till the end zone. Oh
well.. There is always next year.
Some don't can't wait till next year.
Only the true Browns fans can wait
and still honor the browns.


Browns?
MICHAEL RENDOS
Mon 18-Jan-88

Why are you so angry? Calm down. The
Browns weren't playing 100% ball. The
defense was hurting early in the
first quarter.


ACTIVE USERS!

Mon 18-Jan-88

Yep...and what a great time too!  I
mean that SX212 is a great modem to
get!  For around $85 you can beat it!

Yeah...at least this year I prepared
myself...I mean I wasn't as

Well, anyways it wsn't Byner's fault
we lost! It was our sorry defense!
Offense played an awesome game second
half and they should get credit but
the defense choked massively! Like 4
miss-tackles when the Broncos scored
one touchdown! Geez! O'ell now we
know what to work on for next year!


Work on that defense!

Browns!
MICHAEL RENDOS
Tue 19-Jan-88

Well.... The Browns defense was not
playing at a 100% capacity. Bob Golic
was injure and that weaken the
defense line.


Browns!
MICHAEL RENDOS
Tue 19-Jan-88

Well, I am not accusing Byner of
destroying the game. If there was
someone to blame it would be the
whole team. You cant blame one person
on everyones actions on the field. I
have some respect for Byner and all
of the running backs. They did an
awesome job throughout the year.

Browns!
DALE KELSEY
Wed 20-Jan-88

HEY! Now just wait a minute...
It wasn't so much the defences fault.
Have of them were injured.  I mean,
when you have to rely on the 3rd
string nose tackle, and he is injured
also, that's getting pretty bad.  It
was just a messed up game...No one
person you can blame...Just a bad
game in general.



Browns!
MICHAEL RENDOS
Wed 20-Jan-88

I agree with you there. The defense
was hurting badly. But I would not
pin the loss on the defense but the
stupid mistakes in which they made.
If only one of the Dawg were to
injure Elway then the Redskins may
have a chance.


Browns!
ML
Wed 20-Jan-88

No one person was to be blamed.  They
lost as a team.


Browns!
ARON GAYMAN
Wed 20-Jan-88

I agree with ya! Well, I agree that
the defense was really doing bad the
whole game, but the offense didn't
get it's act into gear until the 2nd
half either! Oh, well they did play a
great game and a great season..

           ?Go Browns!?
?~~~~
            SuperBowl!

Browns!
ARON GAYMAN
Wed 20-Jan-88

Well, IT was the defense's fault! I
know they got hurt but, alot of the
points scored by the Broncos were the
reasult of multiple mis-tackles...
Well, those ar the breaks we lost
many of our defensive players...I
guess the best team won then! Well,
we'll see what happens next season..

(Hey, K, where ya been? How's the BBs
going?)
