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?
