Hello all,

In the near future, I forsee myself having to decide on the
purchase of several Microcom modems, most likely, along the
lines of the QX/V.32c.

With this in mind, does anybody out there use Microcom modems?
How do you like them? Are they easy to configure? How is their
technical support?  Is the QX/v.32 any good?

We have purchased a pair of Telebit T2500s which the people here
don't seem to care for. (I found them to be good modems...) How
do the Microcoms compare to Telebits?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please reply directly to
me, and I'll try to summarize (or collect & forward) to any who
are interested.


Oh, on a (slightly) related note, I've noticed that when connecting
to non-MNP modems with MNP enabled on the T2500 results in an
unusable connection.  Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought MNP was
supposed to be a transparent protocol negotiated by both modems
after they connect.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
