I'm looking for a cheap 1200 baud modem. If you have recently
purchased one of these beasts for under $200, could you let me
know:
o Where you bought it?
o How much did it cost?
o Compatability (Hayes, etc).
o Do you like it (any problems, etc)?
Please mail to me and I will post a summary. Thanks

>cheap modem query...
Best buy is the Avatex 1200 baud modem, $87 from The Wholesale Outlet,
Albany, NY; (800) 344-4387. This is an external auto-answer auto-dial
with indicator lights. It uses the Hayes command set, but leaves out
(ignores) the S-register commands. This means that if you don't like the
defaults for delays, number of rings, etc., you're out of luck. Most
people won't care. Works fine with most communications packages supporting
Hayes. PFS-Talk reputedly won't work, but who cares? Comes with PC-Talk III.
