I got a RS-232 Adapter for my C=64 so I could get a 2400 modum.
That only raised my speed to 1200, never could get a2400 connection even after I
got a 28.8k external modum.
But HEY! 1200 is four times the speed of 300.
It wasn't until I had a 486 system that I saw that modum get to its top speed.
As much as I tried to see if the C64 would do 2400 nothing I tried allowed the
Commodore System to connect at 2400.
But I lived with it.
