We have/had 2 Practical Peripherals 2400SA modems from younger
-and-more-(penny-wise-and-pound-) foolish days.  They've never
quite worked right, and multiple firmware replacements have
helped, but not cured them.  I say "had" because one of them
recently failed completely, and has been sent back to the
manufacturer.  As soon as we get the bucks, these turkeys are
history.
