[net.info-terms] Modem Info Wanted

govern (01/27/83)

	Wanted:  1200 baud modem, Bell-212 compatible
		
	I want to buy some 212 clones.  Low price is desirable;
	small size and good reliability are more important.
	Auto-answer capability would be nice, if it is
	switch-selectable, but I can do without it.

	Please send me mail about any good and/or poor modems
	you've used.  I will summarize the results and post them
	in a week or so.

			Thanks;     Bill Stewart

     I have been using the Auto-Link 212 by U.S. Robotics for about five
months and have had no problems with it at all.  The Auto-Link 212 has
0-300 and 1200 baud and auto-answer (switch selectable).  It does not
have auto-dial (the Auto-Dial 212, I think they call it, has this).
It sells for about $575.  It has front panel switch controls for speed
selection, analog loopback self test mode, originate/answer mode, and power.
Front panel LED's monitor carrier, sent data, received data, power,
speed (useful in answer mode where the originator determines the speed),
and some other things I can't remember right off.  It is easy to use and
I have been very happy with it.
