We installed a SpeedModem in our BBS in December, and after ironing out some
initial problems it's working well here.  At first, it wouldn't recognise
'busy' signals correctly, mistaking ringing for busy.  Shortly after reporting
this to CCC, a free upgrade EEPROM appeared, which fixed it.

Apart from that, no phone compatibility probs here in New Zealand.

I've seen one computer so far in which it wouldn't work at all.  It had an IDE
HD controller with on-board serial ports which appeared to be somewhat non-
standard, and stuffed up the IRQ settings.

Same here with EC, but up to 960 cps without error correction.

Of course, the new bi-directional protocols won't work too well with this
modem, due to the slow back-channel.

I agree with that.
