Has anybody had any experience with the following modems.
They are being considered as possible alternatives to the Hayes Smartmodem.
1. RIXON Intelligent R212A.
Lists for 495, available for as low as 365.
2. U.S. Robotics Password
Lists for 449, available for 380.
Both seem to have all features, but are much cheaper than the Hayes.
Comments wanted on:
Reliability,
Ease of use (and programming),
Any hidden "gotchas" in the design.SJOBRG.ANDY%MIT-OZ%mit-mc@sri-unix.UUCP (07/21/83)
From: Andrew Scott Beals <SJOBRG.ANDY%MIT-OZ@mit-mc> the us robotics modem is ok, but with one moby gotcha - it will HANG UP when it recieves 3 +s from your terminal, but it doesn't have a built in time delay like the hayes, if i remember correctly.| it also isn't as smart at the hayes (it can just dial and hang up), and that may be a consideration. -------
