Something else as to using CP/M and a modem...

You must have the December 6(?) overlay for your CP/M 3.0. The system included
with the machine is *not* capable of using a modem! This overlay is available
on Quantum-Link for sure, and possibly GENIE. 

I have not used a 128 for over six months, however, and CBM may be including
the new version of CP/M with the machines by now. Surefire way to tell: Look
at the release date when you boot the system. If it's August, it's the old
one. The new one is dated December '85 or later. 

I suggest you use IMP or MEX for your modeming. They are superior to anything I
have seen in the C-128 public domain world.
