I also tried a Qubie modem, and had severe noise problems at 1200 baud on
incoming data.  It cost $304, and when my local Businessland had a special
on Microcom ERA2 modems for $329, I sent the Qubue back.  (The Qubie also
played the radio over the speaker while dialing -- strange.)

The Microcom works like a charm, and has a really spiffy terminal program
which emulates VT100, VT52, and IBM 3101, as well as implementing Microcom's
MNP protocol which is supported by Telenet among others for error-free terminal
sessions.  You can also set up very complex function keys to wait until a given
time, then dial the phone, look for character strings, send and receive files
with or without MNP error correction, and so forth.  I like it.

My only complaint is that the Microcom modem is very fat and wants to take
up two slots in my XT.  Works OK sandwiched next to the floppy controller,
though.
