Would anyone that has this unit please mail me a short note on how the unit performs. I am particularly interested in 1) if the lack of front panel LED's creates a problem, 2) is it TRUE, EXACT Hayes compatible?? (uucp), 3) is it occasionally glitchy on remote area phone lines?, 4) if you have the optional auto-dial software pack, how does that perform. I'm kind of limited budget-wise and this is the only thing I've seen at 1200 baud auto-answer that costs < $400. If you have any better suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them. Thanks a lot.
