Another downside is that I bought my Telebit for speed in transferring files
over toll lines.  This would add approximately 20 seconds (it may be a little
less) to the connect time.  Why should I sacrifice the features I purchased
the modem for to satisfy those which have problems?  I'm trying to be somewhat
the Devil's Advocate here--no matter what you do, not everyone will be happy.
