I got one of the early models (so early it had a temporary manual with a postcard to order a real one :-) Hooked it up to a Mac SE with hardware handshake cable and proceded to do justice to the UDS 9600 MNP's on our net. I did hear on the net that there was some handshake problems when used with Macs, so I sent it back for the update and they returned it Blue Label. I'm even testing it successfully with COUNTERPoint/Copernicus on a USR HST Hermes BBS, so the only speed we have in common is 2400. However, both speak v.42 with no problem. I also regularly connect with a non-Ultra Hayes V-Series 9600 (at 2400 baud), an Avatex 2400, and the Gandalf 2400's on our net. No problems with any of these before or after the "Macintosh Update." Considering the cost difference between a USR or Hayes and the PP, it's definitely worth testing. -- Maurice INTERNET: lriggins@blackbird.afit.af.mil (129.92.1.2) Opinions expressed here do not reflect those of my employer nor constitute an official position of any U.S.Government agency.
