be cheaper at first,
they
can be used
only
with
Atari computers, and a special software item
called
a terminal program
is
needed.
Atari makes
two
modems
that
don
't need the
850 interface: the Model 835 and the
newer
Model 1030. While
they
are very nice units, the
software
cu
r:
rently available for using these
two
models does
not
allow
you
to
save information
onto
a diskette or cassette,
which
is
an
important
consideration in many
cases.
If the
software situation changes, the
1030 looks like
a good bet.
Also available, although discontinued,
is
the
Atari
830
modem,
which
requires the
850
Inter-
face
Module
