I have been asked to get a 1200 baud smart modem for as little money as possible. Here is one that I found that sounds like a good deal, but is it? Modem: 1200 Baud Smart Duck Price: $169 + $6 P&H Available from: DAK Industries Inc. Winter 1986 catalog, page 9 Made by: ADC, division of BSR (Maybe I'm dumb, but what is ADC? -or BSR even, although the letters sound familiar.) Description: 1200 baud modem, Hayes compatible, with "more screen displays and a help menu", and "day, date and time, an extra phone jack and auto tone/pulse switching". Also has an auto-redial feature. Does anyone have this modem, and if so, how do you like it? Is it reliable? Does it differ from a Hayes Smartmodem 1200 in any way? Since we already have a Hayes, life would be easiest if the new one was Hayes compatible. If the above modem is no good, do you have any other suggestions? Please respond by mail. I will post a summary if there is worth while info. Thank you. -Douglas Flanagan Center for Applied Math Cornell U., Ithaca, N.Y. flanagan@amvax.tn.cornell.edu (ARPANET) flanagan%amvax@CRNLCS.BITNET (BITNET) {decvax,ihnp4,cmcl2,vax135}!cornell!amvax!flanagan (USENET)
