Could any of you modem gurus tell me where I could order a cheap but reliable "smart" modem (i.e. one that I can just hook to a terminal and a phone and log into other computers). I am looking for something >=1200 baud.

I am looking for something >=1200 baud. I have an Anchor 2400E. I use it for dial-in from a terminal only. It has been in daily use for well over a year. The first one I had died the first week. The place where I bought it exchanged it with no hassle. This one has been fine. Though I didn't buy it for use with unix, I tested it and it worked fine. Since then I have installed two of them in low use unix systems with no problems. The features I like about it are front mounted On/off switch and manual volume control. Also was the cost, $129. The things I don't? All four Anchor's I have installed had lost their factory setup. It took an "AT&F" to get them going. Also there is a cheap looking decal mounted on top of an otherwise nice looking box. It is not sealed. You can, and I did, spill a beverage into the modem. No flames please, I know it's a signalman. It works for me! -------- merlin
