We used to use these for UUCP connections between a bunch of Convergent
systems. Unless we got stuck with a bad batch, I would say they are
quite unreliable. We had to exchange two of three within the first
two weeks. There we're other problems with how the modem handled DTR,
DSR, and CD.

We did discuss some of these shortcomings with Packard Bell technical
people. They did seem interested in getting things straightened out.
If the modem works for you now with PMDF, there's no reason why it
shouldn't perform well with UUCP.
