I've been using a Paradyne FDX 2400 and an ARK 24K (same modem) for about
two years on a Tandy 6000.  They have worked well.  The only problem I've
had has been caused by cheap 2400 modems on the other end which seem to
have carrier frequencies outside the band the modems will accept.  The
modems use either the Hayes command set or their own; we use the latter.
