- I'm running at 14.4 with a Swiftlink cartridge on the c128.

- CMD sells the swiftlink cartridge for $39.95 (this cart allows you to
- attach the 14.4 and 28.8 modems to it) Yes, it works well. They also
- sell the Boca14.4 and Boca28.8 modem. I'm not sure how well these Boca
- modems work as I don't have one so I cannot say but they sell them, so
- they must work pretty well to sell them. They also have a package deal
- if you buy the modem and swiftlink together.

- Boca2400.............................$69.00
- Boca2400.w/swiftlink&cable...........$99.00
- Boca14.4faxmodem....................$129.00
- Boca14.4faxmodem.w/swiftlink&cable..$159.00
- Boca28.8faxmodem....................$219.00
- Boca28.8faxmodem.w/swiftlink&cable..$249.00
- Swiftlink............................$39.95
- Swiftlink Modem Cable.................$9.95
-
- So, you have a decent choice. You're probably better off buying the
- Swiftlink&Cable with the modem. Hope this helps ya. Take care.
