# Bits and Pieces

We have some items we want to mention. Brett Lidstone in Canada is having problems connecting a Hayes 300/1200 baud modem to his QL. He cannot get it to work either with the modapter or just with a straight cable. If anyone out there has been successful in hooking up a Hayes, write us and we’ll forward the information to Brett.
