I have used it to connect to both local and long distance sites which use the Bell 212 protocal - with no problem. If you take the cover off a AJ1259 and a RV3451P, it looks like the AJ boards are a later revision of the RV board. The layout is identical though some of the components are different. The RV board I saw was revison G (marked on the board) and it had lots of little yellow (oops we goofed) wires, whereas the AJ had a modest 3. AJ will install a switch in your modem (it cost me $12 Canadian) to disable the auto-answer of the phone. If you are Canadian, there is another moby reason to buy AJ modems -- the Vadic warranty is *only good for 3 months from the shipping date for Canadian orders* (US residents get a full year) while AJ's warranty is good for *a whole year*. AJ has a Toronto phone number - (416) 492-1781 and will fix your modem in Canada if it breaks down. (They have another office in California where they also fix modems -- I dont know that phone number) laura creighton decvax!utzoo!laura
