I have and use a U.S.R. Courier 2400 Modem. It is dial-in/dial-out. I get the full news stuff nitely from a site running Hayes 2400 modems. Depending on job queing, I call them or they call me. *NO* PROBLEMS !!! At 2400 baud, user in California was logged in 20 min. during normal business hours, had only ONE glitch whole session. I have spent over 1 hr. on line to cheap modem (Tandy DC-1200) in Connecticut, *NO* errors/glitches at 1200 baud. U.S.R. has 1 big problem: HEAT !!! box is plastic, not metal like Hayes. Result, no heat sink capability. If air entering U.S.R. is either obstructed or hot, modem will die. Solution: Do *NOT* stack them !!! Contrary to some comments, U.S.R. **IS** vis22.bis compatible.
