In evaluating 2400 bps rack-mount modems for regular dial-in and
uucp dial-out use, we've narrowed the list down to the Concord Data Systems
CDS-224 and the Multi-Tech MultiModem-224. Both are in the $400-500 per
card price range and seem to have all the standard 212A/V.22bis features.
Both claim Hayes compatability (which isn't something I would brag about
myself). The Multi-Tech has optional class 3 MNP error correction.
Anybody out there have experience with either of these units (good
or bad) that they would like to share? I'm especially interested in
hearing about the Multi-Tech because I've never heard of them before a
couple of weeks ago.

I have the CDS 224 + (means it will do 2400,1200,300) and use it all the time. No problems except at 2400 on a noisy line without error correction. Yes, you can use the Hayes program sets but I have not seen any need to and haven't used them. I stay with the cds commands. I use it with kermit and crosstalk, using crosstalk for vt100 emulation (which I don't like but it's the only vt100 emulator i have). I use kermit for transferring files to Unix, Vms, and RSTS systems. I also understand that the Tektronix incoming modems at 2400 baud are the CDS 224 models. In summary, I'm satisfied with it. jim tektronix!tekcbi!jimb
