Does anyone have experience with any of the following modems:
Everex 2400, Avatex 2400, U.S. Robotics 2400, Microbotics 2400.
These seem to the be the cheapest in the market (I'm interested in Cheap.. 8^),
but I have serious reservations about them since similar Hayes technology
costs roughly 3 times more...
Thanks in advance ..
-Jeff

I also am using an internal Everex 2400 in my own machine. It seems to dial a little slower (with same settings in Procomm v2.4.2 as the Everex 1200 I used to have), and in one program, doesn't hang up the phone properly. It is only a minor irritation as it is possible to "+++" and then "ATZ". All in all, I have been happy with the Everex modems -- among other things call progress and Data to Voice switches are easily handled on the Everex. If price is a concern, I believe the Everex wins in this category. However, if you qualify as a Sysop, you can get USR products for 1/2 price.
