[comp.sys.mac] Modem advice wanted

chuck@memory.UUCP (Charles Bartosch) (12/22/89)

Thanks to those of you who've responded to my request for recommendations
on inexpensive 2400 baud modems for us to carry.  So far, the Practical
Peripherals and SupraModem models have been suggested to us.

I'm interested in more feedback, from anyone who has experience with
the inexpensive-2400-baud-modem market.  Please respond via e-mail, 
telling me what modems you like, and why.  Negative feedback, i.e. what
modems we SHOULDN'T get, would also be appreciated.

I've gotten a few responses to my request for modem information.  A few
people have pointed me towards the Practical Peripherals modem and the
Supra modem (both 2400 baud models).  If you have one of these, please
write back to me to tell me what you think about it.  Problems?  Horror
stories?  Love stories?  Anything?  

How about the Anchor modem?  What's your opinion of that?  Feel free to
comment on other brands of inexpensive 2400 baud modem.  My mind is still
open!

Thanks to those who've responded so far!

Well in responce to the modem of choice.  I have 2 Practical Peripheral modems
and I have had no problems with the for the full 2 years  I have had them. 
They seem to be compatable with the standard term programs.  I use the modem
on an IBM at work and the Atari St at home and right now with the St emulating 
the Mac.
