[net.micro] Modems

From: Mike Meyer <mwm@Okc-Unix>
My hayes smart?modem just died due to a power surge. As a consequence,
I am looking for something to replace it, and would appreciate pointers
to other modems.

Requirments: Direct connect and autodial (touch tone) are musts. Autoanswer
would be nice, but I can live w/out it. Since I can replace the hayes for
$180, any other modem I consider must either have obvious advantages over
the hayes, be software compatable, or cost < $150.

In the line of obvious advantages: A 1200 baud modem with the required
features for < $400, or an S100 modem board for < $300. (Hmm, I may even
be able to get the PMMI board for that....)

Summary posted to the net on request.
