We have bought about 200 to 300 of the 2400 baud units (Mt224e) and about 50 of
the 9600 baud V-32 (Mt932ea) units. We have had two go bad. Pretty good track
record as far as I am concerned. We are using them with a callback system and
they seem to be about as good as it gets for interactive work. Calling extreme
long distances with the V-32 can be chancey but I have seen this with all the
brands of V-32 I have played with. Pep seems to work better with moving large
amounts of data over long distances than V-32. Once in a while some of the V-32
will lose their configurations but I cannot verify this was the fault of the
modem or errant customers fingers. The front display on the Multitech's has a
good system of lights that allows you to see what version of mnp is running and
switches for baud rate and answer/originate mode. Dip switches are on bottom of
modem and are labeled. We have also used them in synchronous mode also as a
backup connection for X-25. All in all I am pleased with the units and the tech-
nical support that is available. Remember your milage may vary and its all blackmagic anyway :-).

This is my own personal opinion and has nothing to do with my employer.
