Rich,

I can't respond to mixing pulse and dial, since I've never tried it, but every-
thing else you ask about is satisfied.  I bought mine about two months ago and
have been pleased as h*ll with it.  It actually seems more reliable on noisy
lines than my old Hayes 1200, but that could be a misperception from lack of
sufficient data.  I wouldn't go back to the Hayes on a bet.  The only negative
I can think of is that the modem is so light that it feels insubstantial and
I worry about damaging it if it gets bumped or jostled.
