- Can anybody confirm this? I just bought one, and I have had some
- problems getting it to work at 9600 with some BBSs with my Mac.
- It did work fine when I tried it with a PC. However, the manual
- says that it does take standard AT commands, and it sure seems to.
- It definitely understands ATDT 555-1212, and it says that it is
- v.32 bis. If anyone has successfully used an Eagle modem from
- Prodigy with a Mac, please reply.
