[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Cardinal 2400 baud modem : buy or not ?

sreekanth@rgb.dec.com (Jon Sreekanth) (06/27/90)

Thanks to everyone who responded to my inquiry on Cardinal modems. 
I also got email from several people. 

The summary is : everyone who's used Cardinal modems is satisfied with
their reliability and Hayes compatibility. In addition, almost 
everyone recommended I spend the extra money ($139 instead of $89) for
hardware MNP 5, since Compuserve and MCI Mail have already gone to 
MNP, and other BBS'es might do so, and most new users might buy some
level of MNP. 

Based on these responses, I ordered the 2400 MNP from USA Flex
(1-800-USA_FLEX); they said I should get it in 7 working days. If I have
any problems with the modem, I'll post again.
