We eventually settled on the U. S. Robotics 1200 Auto Dial modem. It is Hayes compatible in all but a couple of the parameter changes. I have an Apple, and it works perfectly with all of my modem programs. At the time we bought them, they were $429. But prices are falling quickly. U. S. Robotics is now advertising a no frills model for about $440 I think. No switches or status lights, but otherwise Hayes compatible. One nice thing about the Robotics modem, it has a switch for switching transmit and receive lines and another for disabling DTR. This makes it fairly easy to interface to various computers or terminals. Eric Bergan ...!umcp-cs!aplvax!eric
