I'd like to buy a 2400 baud modem soon, and am concerned about the following things: - AT command set compatiblility. - noise immunity. - ability to do pulse or tone dialing. - and, most important, the ability to mix pulse and tone in the same dial command. for example, the command I use to log into the computer at work is: ATDP####### W DT######## because my home line is pulse but the second dial tone (after the "W"ait command) requires tone. I assume that capability comes with the AT command set. Any help is appreciated; I'd like to keep the amount under $200. Rich
