I have had problems, but no more than I experience with a Hayse. The modem has worked out fine for me. I depend on it to send my source code between my mac and the 11/750 here almost every day (or at least everyday when I am in pascal class...). Could it be that you have incredibly noise phone lines, or possibly a defective modem? Of course, I could always have incredibly clean ph o nelines, or a modem of exceptional quality... Just repeating experiences.. David Reeck !tektronix!reeed!lclark!reeck
