[comp.dcom.modems] > CODEX modems: Any experiences

randy@ai.mit.edu (Randall Smith) (03/06/91)

I mailed the below to Thad last week, but either he didn't get the mail or he
ignored it, judging from his subsequent postings.  I'm sending this via a friend
because posting doesn't seem to work from this site.  (Yes, I *KNOW* we're a
datacom company, but... :-)

In comp.dcom.modems you write:

>I don't know where CODEX is located!  :-)

20 Cabot Blvd.
Mansfield, Ma. 02048-1193
(508) 261-4000

California (Bay Area) Customer Service:
1400 Fashion Island Blvd
Suite 510
San Mateo, CA 94404
(415) 341-1616

I hope this helps.  I am not an expert on our modems (though on my latest
project, I'm learning fast! :-); my work has been in stat muxing and network
management.  I'd be happy to help further if I could.

Please don't embarass us publicly, either, at least until you're certain the
problem is ours!  You said yourself that this site had a history of
mis-configuring their modems.  Perhaps that's the only reason for the problem.

I don't know how well the 2264 talks to a Trailblazer; frankly, that's
not an application I'm aware of *our* customers needing often.  (Again,
I'm not an expert on Codex modems!)  Most of our modem business is in
the leased-line area (where our customer satisfaction ratings are
consistently the highest in the industry, by any poll I've seen.  Really.) 

Best of luck getting this to work.  If/when you find the problem, I hope
you'll post an explanation on the net (whether it was a problem in 
configuration or in the modems themselves.)  Regardless, please don't
judge us only by this one bad experience.  Overall, Codex's customers
seem to be very pleased with our products!
