I've been presented with a good offer (pricewise) to purchase a USR
Password Modem but would like to find out a few things from those of
you who have used the modem (preferably with IBM-PC/compatibles):

1) It comes with a Modem-computer cable - Is that an RS232 cable that
   hooks up to an IBM *standard* asynch port?

2) What communications software (IBM compatible) is available for the
   modem?

3) They advertise a 2 year warranty - anyone had to use it?
   i.e.  is the product and their customer support any good?

4) The design has no front panel of LED indicators for things like
   Sending, Receiving, Ready, Connect .....  Are those pretty red
   lights really helpful or can I do without them?

If anyone else has the same questions, mail me and I'll forward a
summary of the responses that I receive.
