Larry, You'll have to get 1.01 if you want to use it with WB2.0, 1.0 won't work with it at all. As for the modem. I assume the '+' means MNP, right? The big thing to remember is that an MNP modem works with a locked baud rate between the modem and the computer, usually 2 to 4 times greater than the maximum connect rate. On the comm side, make sure autobaud is off and every phonebook entry is set to the locked baud rate. The modem also will need to have its autobaud off (if it has such a function, it should). Then the comm program and the modem need to be set for CTS/RTS handshake so that you don't lose data. Another thing to remember is that a real Hayes 2400bps modem will not connect with an MNP modem, you have to turn MNP off prior to calling any system with a Hayes attached to it. If you still have problems connecting to the BBS after you've checked that the settings are correct let me know. BTW, the users manual gives some more general info on MNP modems, you may want to check on that too. -jack-
