[ My apologies if there are two copies of this posting, there was
  a major glitch at our end when I was halfway through posting it ]

I just got the March issue of MacWorld (what a time-lag, maybe I
should get a direct subscription...), and I was looking through
the MacConnection ad when I spotted a 9600 modem for $489, rather
than the usual ~$700. It was the Practical Modem 9600SA by
Practical Peripherals. I am looking for a 9600 modem at the
moment, so I thought this was a good deal, perhaps... The
description was a little uninformative, so I was wondering if
anyone could answer the following:

1. Does anyone out there have one of these? Is it any good?

2. Is it Hayes compatible?

3. Who are Practical Peripherals? (I've never heard of them) Are
   they a good company? Better yet does anyone know if they have
   a fax number? Then I could bug them direct rather than bugging
   all you guys :-)

Please email replies. Thanks in advance.
