Someone recently posted a note requesting information on the Anchor Signalman Mark VIII modem. I lost the original request, but if this person could post a summary of responses to the net or send it to me, I would really appreciate it. I just saw an ad for the Anchor Mark VIII, Bell 212A compatible, 1200/300 baud, auto dial/answer, for $319. That compares to about $400 as a low price for the US Robotics (without autodial) or $500 for the Hayes 1200. These prices are from Byte or flyer advertizements. The $319 price was in a flyer from AB Computers, Colmar, PA (215)822-7727. They advertise in Byte every month. They also sell a 300 baud Anchor Mark I, direct connect, RS232 for $79. Does anyone know if there is a serious quality problem with Anchor modems? Ken Lee BTL WB {harpo or eagle or cbosg or ihnp4 or ihnss}!mhuxt!kfl
