Hi all, I just got a Goldstar 2400 modem. Cost $170. Besides the hayes 2400 compatible command set it can handle V.22 synchronous. I have only used it in async mode so far. Seems to work, but there is some noise on the line - more junk than I got with my old reliable Ventel 1200. I know I could have gotten a "no name 2400" for about $120, but after readiing this group I know that there is a difference with 2400 bps modems. Does anyone have more experience with this modem yet? Thanks in advance, Richard Marks rmarks@KSP.unisys.COM

I have had one for about 8 months. Yes...there seems to be quite a
lot of line noise. Other things I have noticed are:
Occasional failure to hang up line after disconnect.
Occasional scrambling of registers.
All in all...a very cheaply built modem. Not terrible, just cheap.
