I just picked up one of these. I don't have it working on the UNIXPC
yet but in my trials on another computer (no UUCP) I was able to
connect at both 1200 and 2400 without compression or correction. I
have it working to dial out at 1200 baud on the UNIXPC and am
working on the modem settings to get highs to work correctly.

If I have problem wiht this modem, you can bet I'll be vocal about
it.
