Well this message was sent to you buy one that's almost a year old with no problems as of yet. And SmartCom II 3.0 just loves it to death. It thinks it's a REAL smartmodem. > I'd like to buy a 2400 baud modem soon, and am concerned about the >following things: > - AT command set compatiblility. No problems as of yet. > - noise immunity.

Don't know, never tried it. But it is compatible with Hayes, so if you can do it on a Hayes, you should be able to do it on this modem. The company claims they will give you your full purchase price back if their modem won't do something the same *type* model hayes will. I have no affiliation with PP other than an extremely satisfied customer. David M.
