Hello, I'm taking a look at the USR PASSWORD which seems to sell
for $320-$375. At the moment, I have a loaned USR Auto-Dial 212A
which works very nicely but was told it costs over $480. I'd
like to know other's experiences with the autodial 212a and
the password (RS-232 version).

Thanks!! -Ed

Check the ads in BYTE and MICROSYSTEMS.  The PASSWORD modem is going
for $297 in some ads.  Several of my friends have purchased them and
are quite satisfied.  The ROM was updated some time back to make it
compatible with the DC Hayes Smartmodem, although some of the
self-test features don't exist.

I recently purchased a USR Password for 315 (not best price, but
a good deal).  I have been very happy with it so far.  It does
seem to run pretty warm sometimes.  I have noticed a small amount
of garbage, but can attribute it mostly to noisy phone lines...
