I received one vote for each of the modems listed below. There seems to be little interest in 2400 baud modems now that the price has made them throw aways if they do not work. 1. Micom (not Microcom) 2400 bps MNP-4 modem 2. ZOOM 2400 baud modem 3. Practical Peripherals 4. USR 2400 5. AVATEX 2400 Thanks to: David Lesher, Steven M. Schultz, J.

The street price here is about $280 Canadian. Kim -- Kim Letkeman kim@software.mitel.com uunet!mitel!spock!kim

The modem works fine except it sometimes can't hear BUSY, and after the timeout passes, returns NO CARRIER. I'm returning the modem to ATI for service.

I'm a bit stunned, as I've been speaking to ATI on the phone several times in the last couple of weeks and they swear that they are not shipping the V.42bis yet (but it's only days away.) Perhaps they shipped to the USA first. Anyway, I have the same problem with detecting BUSY. Seems that one out of every four or five tries, there is a strange click right after the busy signal starts and the modem is unable to detect on that try. I'll be interested in knowing if you get the problem solved. If so, please post the resolution. Otherwise, a very nice modem. Kim -- Kim Letkeman kim@software.mitel.com uunet!mitel!spock!kim
