[net.dcom] DAK modem

*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR QUESTIONABLE MODEM ***

     Does anyone out there own the ADC 1200 baud modem that DAK is
selling for $169?  Specifically, is this modem capable of outpulsing
the "*" symbol in the touch tone mode?  Some "Hayes compatible"
modems can only outpulse digits 0-9.  The "*" symbol is used to
disable Calls Waiting  i.e. *70,5551234.  Do you like the modem?
Any problems?

     Please E-mail responses.  I'll post a summary if replies warrant.

                          Thanks!!!

Hm, is this a feature unique to some parts of the country or is this
pretty much standard for those with call waiting?

This is still a regional feature.  Out here around DC, C&P's Telephone's
crossbar hasn't been programmed to recognize * codes yet.
