# 2068 Telecommunications Notes

The following is an overview of telecommunications hardware and software available for the T/S 2068 and how it all works.

For modems, the 2068 user has several options. The [Westridge 2050](http://localhost/product/westridge-2050-modem/) 300 baud modem is still available through several T/S dealers, but anyone who hasn’t yet purchased a modem should consider a standard 300/1200 baud modem now that software is avallable to support 1200 baud. The best buy is the Avatex 1200 ‘smart moden’, from Megatronics for about $85.00. They also have the 1200HC, Hayes compatible version with the full Hayes command set, for just over $100.00. Call 1-800-232-6342 with a VISa card or write Megatronics at PO BOX 3000, Logan, UT 84321.
