    No, that particular model didn't nor did any of the color computer from    
   radio shak. It wasn't until I had a coco3 with what was called a multipak   
   interface was an rs32 port available to hook into a Hayes combatable modem.

    Ah yes, the batch programming.. you really could automate a bunch of stuff

   could mess a bunch of stuff up as well. :)
