I was very happy to receive five replies to my questions.  All the 
instructions on disassembling  the computer will be useful when I 
install the modem.

However, I was able to correct the space bar problem (it required a 
lot of pressure) on the 2300 without opening the case.  The solution 
was simple though quite mysterious.  The suggestion to first lift off 
the key cap was on the money, as was the suggestion to compare the 
2300 to the 210 (which was working properly).

The seller of the machine had told me that the space bar had been 
sticking in the down position but he had fixed it.  Turns out he had 
fixed it by inserting a spring under the space bar.  I would not have 
recognized this as a jerry-rigged fix had I not compared it to the 
210.

When I removed the spring, the space bar did indeed stick in the down 
position.  Yet careful examination revealed nothing different from 
the 210.  I decided to remove the retaining wire and without it the 
space bar worked.  I then re-installed the retaining wire and it 
still worked!  I have no idea why.

Thanks to all of you.
