I have been using Hayes modems with netserials for dial-in access
with considerable luck.  We are using both 2400 and 9600 smartmodems.
The 9600 unit can delivery up to 19.2.  I am interested in getting
ahold of their 38.4K model.

Every once-in-a-great-while, the 9600 will need to be reset
as it does not allow a dial-in connnection.  This is not
a hang per se, but a refusal to accept the password.  Usually
this occurred after a muffed connection attempt, ie wrong 
password, etc. 

2400 and 9600 connections are extremely slow for TOPS file
transfers for Microsoft Mail activities.  19.2K is tolerable.

Sorry I could not help you with your Telebit.  Shiva has told
me that they prefer that you use "THEIR" serial cable and they
will send you one free if asked.  I have been told that this
cable is included with all new netserials.  That may help.
