Does anybody know if I can get AOL on Deskmate at 1200 Baud using
the TANDY 1000EX? I can still access Compuserve, but was
wondering if AOL can be accessed for a friend of mine. If so,
what are some of the "go commands" to use to get around AOL?

Hi, Bernie,
Thank you. My friend who borrowed the 10 year old computer tried
to get on AOL but couldn't access it. I'm glad she can still get
Compuserve with Deskmate.

As far as I know, AOL only supports their own software
(DOS/Win/Mac), and using Deskmate Term won't do.  1200 bps should
be possible, but very slow given AOL's heavily graphic intensive
interface.

Try calling AOL to confirm. Their HQ is Vienna, VA (area code
703, I believe).

Hi, David,
Thank you for the suggestion about using AOL. I remember years
back I had a choice to  use AOL or Compuserve on the Tandy
1000EX. My friend is using Compuserve on the Tandy and likes it
for email and chat rooms..
