   Hello Knut,   
   Hey thank you for the help. Always nice being able to tap into the mind of a   
   Guru on this stuff.   
   I'm pretty green with all of this really, but I enjoyed it when I was in   
   high school in the late 70's.   
   I always wanted to come back to the TRS-80 universe someday. Now I have the   
   time to dedicate to this old passion as a great hobby (the world of the   
   TRS-80 & BASIC to start). So I really do appreciate the help from the folks   
   here in the Tandy/TRS community. :-)   
      
   Well, I hope I bought the right stuff. I just bought that Hayes 1200   
   Smartmodem & a Bi-Directional 25 pin Male to Male RS-232 cable for it. Any   
   recommendations on which communication software I should use with it (& the   
   model 4)? I see Ira has quite a few different modem programs on his site.   
   I'd like to initially try and hook up to a BBS or two.   
   Again any recommendations or thoughts here would be greatly appreciated that   
   would help me accomplish this the easiest way possible.   
   :-)   
      
   Thanks again for your time!   
   -Chris
