[micro.general] modem survey box score

ctk@ecsvax.UUCP (02/23/84)

Here are the current reslts of my modem survey. I seem to have struck
a nerve out there. Most folks either like their modem a lot or hate
it. Most responses were about the Hayes and USR Password. I'll update
this in about a week if more responses come in. Right now I'm getting
about 7 responses each day.
       The modems surveyed are 1200 baud jobs that **send break**.
For this reason the Anchor Automation 1200 baud is not counted.
