Simple (?) question: any ideas as to selection of a good modem at a "reasonable" price (1200 baud)? Is the recent posting of Qubie problems unusual?? How about the Prometheus Promodem?? The Hayes is just too expensive (at least for grad students). Any help here would be appreciated . Oh yes. Soon, plez. Frank Miles

Soon, plez. > Frank Miles The U.S. Robotics 'Password(tm)' modem is a very reliable, easy to use, compact modem, offering auto answer/dial, 1200/300 baud operation, as well as numerous other features. I have been using this modem now for several weeks, and I am pleased with it. The best part, however, is the *PRICE* --- about $460 in Canada, I would expect it to be substantially less (possibly < $400) in the US. ----- Howard Lem {ihnp4,decvax,cbosgd,utzoo}!utcs!howard

It is HAYES compatible, works flawlessly at both 300 and 1200 bauds, and I got it for $309 from a mail order company. The password is both auto dial and auto answer, has an internal speaker, and is so small that you'll almost be upset when you see it and realize that you paid $ Steve Grimaldi grimaldi@umdb (bitnet) grim@umd2 (arpa)
