Does anybody know much about the new HAYES smartmodem 1200?  It claims to
be 1200 baud 212 mode with 300 baud as well, including auto-answer and auto-dial,
with auto-baud on the answer mode.  Rs-232 control, and I have seen it
advertised in  INFO-WORLD for $609 Yankee.  Sounds pretty good.  The questions
are:

	1) How soon can I get it
	2) Is it reliable?  I have seen 212s that are pretty bad
	3) Is it smart about how it enters command mode.  ie. is it impossible
	   to do this during a conversation, or can you enter it by accident
	   if you send the wrong escape sequence.

	4) Can I get a bargain on it in quantity?
