I have a 3 switch 1670.  It doesn't work, but I have one.  There is no
jumper.

PS  This message was sent from my C64 using the program VT100.C64 found on
the Aprotek disk. This is the only VT100 emulator I have found that works
correctly with Pine. 

Hardware:  Aprotek universal RS-232 expansion interface and Practical
Peripherals modem from my PC.

Well, it almost worked.  When I pressed ctrl-x to send the message, the
terminal program disconnected.  I have had to finish from my PC.
