For a modem, somebody was mentioning a 56K X-Jack MegaHertz modem last
week or the week before, that was working on the Newton. Check the
NewtonTalk archive you should find it, or maybe somebody will chime in
with the exact model.
You can use your PC external modem as long as you have the proper cable.
You should be able to find a cable that will have a DIN-8 plug on one
end that plugs in the interconnect port with the "dongle" adapter, or
directly into the SER-001 if you ever get it, and has a DB-9 plug on the
other end that would plug directly in your modem. Make sure it's a modem
cable and you should be fine, although a PCMCIA card modem will be more
convenient.
Have the guy with the 120 do a hard reset, that should take care of the
problem. Warning! A hard reset will bring back the internal store to its
factory default, so he'll loose everything that he added. If he just got
it, then he should have done that first thing. He might also want to
check if he has the latest system update. He will need to know whether
this 120 is running Newton OS 1.3 or 2.0, as there are different system
updates depending on the version of the OS. If he has a NOS 1.3 120, no, he
cannot upgrade to NOS 2.0 by software. The ROMs need to be replaced.
