I'm curious what kind of experience the rest of you are having/have had
with your Telebit modems, specifically the T2500.  I don't seem to be having
the best of luck with them ...

My first unit was DOA -- the on-off switch wouldn't budge!  It obviously
wasn't checked before it was shipped out.

My second unit worked fine for a week or so, but now I'm having flakey
intermittent probelms where it suddenly stops syncing on carrier on
inbound calls.  Inbound modems think they've established carrier, but
the T2500 never gives a CD light.  I don't think it's a setup issue,
because it works fine for days, then suddenly stops.  Meanwhile, outbound
calls continue to work fine.

Anyway, it looks (to me) like there must be a quality assurance problem
at Telebit.  I'm curious if others are having the same problems as me.

On the bright side, the Telebit support seems to be very good.  They shipped
me out a new modem overnight to replace my first bad one.  I don't know if
they'll continue to do that, though, I guess I'll find out when I call this
one in ...
