[net.micro] Modem info needed..

casterli (01/14/83)

We are currently considering the following modems:

1)  Racal-Vadic triple

2)  Hayes Smartmodem 1200

3)  Universal Datamodem

4)  Novation Smartcat

and would appreciate comments from those of you who have used them.  Our 
concerns are:

1)  Reliability

2)  Just how 'smart' are these beasties?

3)  Availability

4)  Compatability with the CP/M Crosstalk program (important for this
    application)

I am sorry if I have missed articles which address these modems.  We are new
to the net, and have (I suspect) missed much of interest in the past...

Thank you for your time

A friend of mine recently acquired a General Datacomm 300/1200/2400
modem, and has no idea on how to use it.  We don't have any model number
for it either (sigh).  If anyone has any info on these modems, please
contact me at one of the following addresses:

Thanks much!
