Re: modem setup

Hello,

     Your friend obviously has an unenhanced Apple IIe that doesn't have
the 65C02 chip which allows for upper/lower case characters.  ProTerm is
excellent software, but you're hooking it up to an antique.  You could
check the ads in Incider magazine and undoubtedly 65C02 chips are still
available, but your friend will also need to buy more RAM to run the
software.  Your friend might want to upgrade computers before investing
any more money in this present system.
