I just saw a 1200 bd modem (by Avatex) advertised for $99. The same outfit (California Digital) is also listing an IBM/PC 1200 bd modem by a different company for $99. Has anybody bought one? Do you get what you pay for (i.e. should I stick to my old reliable 300 bd modem)?

Do you get what you pay for (i.e. >should I stick to my old reliable 300 bd modem)? I have an Avatex 1200 bd modem and so far the thing seems to be functioning fine. The quality seems good, and has been very reliable so far. It's another Hayes compatible modem, missing only one feature: detection of busy signals, so that it times out after 30 seconds of trying. I suspect that the innards were might be made by EMP, since the power supply is an EMP power supply.
