The verdict: good.

I've had a Practical Peripherals brand 2400 baud modem for almost a year
now.  Why do I feel compelled to write about it now?  It just broke and
I sent it in for repairs.

I've had a little problem with line noise, but everyone else I know in
the department has had similar problems.  Maybe it's the phone system,
maybe it's the receiving modem on the phys computer.

However, I was impressed by their service.  This $150 modem comes with
a five year warranty.  My modem began having problems hanging up the
line.  I hadn't sent in my registration card, which was no problem at
all.  I got it back in less than three weeks.

The tech support people were friendly.  What else can I say?  I can't
really judge the true quality of the modem due to problems given above,
but their service was excellent.  Hayes compatible.
