    Yes, I've been using one for over a month now, connected to a dumb
terminal.  I have had no problems at all and am pleased with the data
compression.  I recommend it.  USA FLEX seems to have a real good
price; I will probably buy one there for myself (the unit I'm using is
borrowed for a while) to tide me over until 9600+ modems get cheap
enough.
